I made some fertiliser for my veggies-big bucket filled with nettles,a drop of last year's manure and water.Covered the bucket with big polyethylene bag and now I'm afraid to have a look(not if I wanted to faint)
I have 2 drain pipes with a plant pot silicone gelled on the bottm, and stuff nettles in one and comfrey in another, then the rain drains through and takes the liquid into buckets placed below.
No pong, but the contents of the buckets are put into my watering can, depending on whether I am watering in fruiting plants [comfrey], leafy plants [nettle] or roots [nothing at all].
I've got a bucket thingy by the compost heap, the nettles all grow there, so I cut them down and stick them in the bucket. Pong contained by compost heap...
I collected some nettles and put them into two 2 litre plastic milk bottles and a 1.5 litre orange squash bottle and then filled them with water and left them to fester for a month. I still haven't used any because my Bokashi buckets have been producing fertilizer by the bucket load, but I will soon. I did check on the bottles a few weeks ago though and the orange squash bottle must have been air tight cos when I opened it, it fizzed like a coke bottle and frothed out at high speed and was really stinky.
