Re: source of nettle seeds

Folks - One year I cut my seeding nettle back and put the cuttings in the compost pile. I thought my chopping preceded the maturity of the seed, but apparently not. I applied that compost in the fall and in the spring I had, well, a cover crop of nettle plants everywhere I had put down the

nettle seeds

Laura, Most of my own nettles are growing very healthily in my goat yards. One of the few plants the goats won't touch. They usually get quite tall, some 3 - 4 feet (but scraggly, not bushy). Usually by summer's heat they fade, and I've never noticed seeds. If you want me to save some, I have
