This video shows you an easy way to extract the goodness from nettles so we can make the most of their amazing qualities to help us with growing healthier plants and simultaneously improving soil health. You will learn how to make something called a Fermented Plant Juice (or FPJ in short) that is a method developed from Korean Natural Farming to help get better yields using local and 100% natural materials. It was great to get Nigel Palmer on to tell us more about this and you can find out about his workshop here: https://www.nigel-palmer.com/workshop
The great thing about Korean Natural Farming is that the whole goal is to use local resources to make mineral and biological amendments that not only improve results in the garden, but are kind to nature and helps close the waste gap in our modern culture. This easy recipe is a great way to cut costs, have fun and be one extra gardening tool under your belt. I feel that using things like this in conjunction with no dig allows us to enjoy greater potential from our growing spaces.
