if you're talking about an extract from nettles I've researched it and so far only "threatened" to do it,,

always short on time when it comes down to it I guess

go for it and let us know the results

no its not a extract from nettles.You pick nettles put it in the foodprosseor with a little of water,and you make a paste.And then you mix in water,let it ferment for at least 2 weeks.Then 1 to 10 of water,thats the fertilizer.I no its good for tomatoes,but what about pumpkins?

Ha,,,and I hope you understand my english norwegian!

that is one of the processes I have read about,,a very old school organic trick

I don't think there is anything that would hurt pumpkins in that blend,,,like I said please let us know if it works.

Bossen, you can use nettles when you plant in the ground, cut about 1 lbs of nettles and put it before planting the young plant!

I hope you understand my frenchy english....... :D Bye!
