Allan, I am glad to hear the the red has been repeated. Stay away from you kale though. There may be a different incarnation of nettle brew that is good for kale, but probably not that one. I bet you can dilute it, but the question of amount and time of stirring is an open one. Off-hand, 1/10, 10 min, but hard to know...needs some dowsing.
