I am using nettles for a liquid feed. Just have to use a clothes peg on the nose when using, but then probably the same with all home made brews. Tomatoes are doing really well on it.
And it was free which in the current economic climate is a big bonus.

I think nettles are high in potash and so very good for tomatoes. You don't have to make it into a liquid feed just mulch around the plants with nettles. Sheep droppings have got to be 90% part digested grass. And I don't think the sheeps stomach is very good at digesting and the grass comes out with very little change to its composition.

Last season I used chicken pellets to fed my cucumbers. I had a 3" pot sunk into the ground beside each plant to ensure water went straight to where it was required and I just put a half handful in the pots each week and continued watering - the pellets dissolved over the space of the week. I didn't bother diluting the brew at all and had no problems.Rat
