2013 Onion Growing Challenge

I wasn't able to source any Comfrey, so I'll go for Nettles. I'm just trying to work out how much I might need. Any ideas as to the rate of dilution?

 

You can get hessian sacks from the builders merchants for about 50p

 

Thanks for the info John Gonna get some stingers when we take the dogs out for a walk, tomorrow. I'll brew mine in an unused dustbin. Do you think there's any reason why I couldn't just leave it in the bin once it's brewed?

 

Mine is left in the bin Freddy, I just take a jug full as required....... It might be worth covering it though, should we get a half decent downpour it will dilute it.

 

Yes you can leave it in there Freddy....i only bottle mine because i haven't got another container to make more....

 

Hello chums

I got my Nettles on the brew today

Hello John.

What's the thinking behind using CMP's? As I understand it, CMP's are good for Nitrogen. Do you think that the Onions will still have a need for it?

 

I've been faffing with my Onions again....been trying to support the leaves as they've taken such a battering with the winds et al......they are still floppy though

 

That's a blummin' good idea Loli You ain't daft are you!

 

Not much Freddy

 

Hello chums

One thing occurred to me regarding these nettles. They were full of seed and I'm wondering if I'll end up spreading the seed all over the place once added to the plot?

 

Hmm....maybe you could sieve it through some net curtain Freddy to be on the safe side
