Does anyone grow stinging nettle (Urtica dioica)? I’m thinking about planting some next year in containers, mostly for fertilizer but I would also like to drink some tea just to see if it helps my allergies at all. Any tips, observations, opinions?

    Growing up with the little bastards I wish you luck…

    for allergies source local (within 10 mi) honey and take a tea/tablespoon every day

      Tried a daily spoonful honey a few times in my life. Didn’t help my allergies either time. I tried it a second time as a digestion aid, but didn’t notice much difference either.

      It’s delicious though. I was told that eating the honeycomb is the best way to go if you want health benefits, but I dislike the texture.
