We all know how good nettle tea is. Also comfrey tea. What about dock tea? I have plenty of available nettles, but invariably get nettled. There are also loads of docks and I imagine it's much more pleasant getting docked than getting nettled. I wouldn't mind getting comfreyed, but there isnt much about.

Some of us bung any green waste into water and let it ferment (and stink). I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell you how good it is

I'm with VC. I make a stinky tea from any and all weeds that I pull up. As long as they haven't formed seed heads they're fine to use. Dock has a deep tap root so may well be able to draw up different minerals to those found in shallower rooted plants.Comment

Daft question, but are you talking about drinking tea or something to feed plants?

I have a bin at t' bottom of t' garden which gets everything thrown in. It stinks like the countryside but boy do the plants love it. I just add a jug to every full watering can once a week.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”
