Agent 47 said: The second method of extraction produces a more concentrated tea that is to be mixed with your water. Again ratio's of dilution are are best to be worked out by each person. A suggested ratio would be from 1:10 to 1:15. As an organic head, It is important to me that I use rainwater to sustain the micro-organisms. Does it help, I like to think so.

Take a 2 litre plastic bottle, stuff it full of chopped nettles, add a little bit of water (100ml will do) and replace the cap.
Drill a tiny hole in the cap.
Sit bottle upside down in a container, a bucket will do.
After 3-4 days the plant material will start to break down and a thick, dark green liquid will start to drip out of the bottle, within 8-10 days you will have about a litre of concentrated nettle juice. Dilute 1:10 and use.
There are lots of other highly useful plants in the British countryside, Comfrey is a prime example, concentrated Comfrey juice produced with the bottle method I described has an NPK of around 8-5-20, wonderful stuff to use until mid flower.
Dandelion: potassium, phosphorous, iron, soda,
Dock: potassium, phosphorous, magnesium
Comfrey: nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, silica,
Nettles: nitrogen, potassium, calcium, iron, copper, sodium, sulphur, formic acid, ammonia, carbonic acid
Horsetail: magnesium, calcium, iron, silica, cobalt
Chamomile: potassium, phosphorus, calcium, lime
Yarrow: nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, copper, lime, sulphur
