To shorten my question if that is what you want :Can green stinging nettles with seed be composted without me spreading the seed all over the garden ?

We are strong believers in nettle compost tee,.But we have quite a quantity They are in seed now already and I think of composting them in a compost bin.Is that a bad idea because of the seed ? Seed and plants are still juicy green.And I would cover them with soil. I am concerned of spreading the seed all over the garden.

You say to use a 10:1 ratio to make the liquid fertilizer, but which is which? Do you only need a little nettle to make a lot of fertilizer or do you need a lot of nettle just to get enough nutrition from it to count?

Is it simply the leaves that are composted or is there an element of stem that may be used. Noted -NO roots

Nettles are the best accelerator in your compost you can ever have .I make two compost pits , between pallets each year ,I mix plenty of nettles through this ( n0 roots ) annd I get what you dream of just great stuff.
