Hi!

We have been played a lot of these days about nettles and my wife is totaly in to it. Have anyone tried to store those like freecing or drying or or something. Is it possible to keep the power up, or does nettles work only by fresh.
We think, that the influens is going little down. Not sure is it milder plants, or mayby we are just used those too mutch.
But anyway, like to hear, if you have any idea about that store issue.

hey,
if you freeze or boil them in water the nettle hairs are destroyed completely, so you can only use fresh nettles for your play.

Thats what we thinking. Shit.

Look to an other thread about Nettles here:

Maybe you can find some answers or Ideas.

The potency of the nettle leaves/stalks starts degrading as soon as you cut them from the plant. Within an hour they'll be half as effective as fresh. Basically if they start to wilt, may as well chuck them.
