Nettle is a frequent guest on any site.

You yourself could have burned yourself more than once, because all it takes is one careless movement.

But once a weed has grown in your yard, don't get rid of it - instead, put the stinging grass to good use.

It turns out that nettles can come to the rescue if you want to get a rich harvest of cucumbers.

The best part is that you don’t need to pour water on the weeds or do anything else with them.

All you need to do is cut the leaves and stems into small pieces and spread them on the beds as mulch.

Thanks to this use, nettles can not only protect the soil and plant roots, but also become a valuable source of nutrients, rotting over time.

The main thing to remember if you decide to resort to such feeding is that you should act exclusively with thick gloves, so that you do not have to reap the fruits of your ill-considered decision later.
