Does anyone grow stinging nettle (Urtica dioica)? I’m thinking about planting some next year in containers, mostly for fertilizer but I would also like to drink some tea just to see if it helps my allergies at all. Any tips, observations, opinions?

    I learned how to handle it without gloves when I was young. It was customary at every camping trip to pick some and put it into someone else’s sleeping bag on the sly. Hilarious fun.

    And my opinion, wood nettle is way more armed than stinging.
