1. Kills some nettle plants.
2. Nettles contain a lot of nitrogen. So soaking them in a large container of water for a week, stirring occasionally, releases the nitrogen into the water. You can then dilute this, you want it to look like weak tea, and water it on your plants. Nitrogen promotes new growth. You can also add cut nettles to your compost heap.
