What can I feed?

Hello, I have quite a lot of liquid nettle feed left over-is it too late in the season to feed anything with it?

Thanks!

    As it is hight in nitrogen, any leafy veg would love it.  Otherwise I'd use it on annuals - you don't really want to induce soft green growth on pereniials, shrubs or trees at this time of year.

    Thanks Bob, I’m quite keen to use it up as my husband keeps complaining about the smell in the garage...

    :) I keep mine down the bottom of the garden, hidden between a bush and a fence.  It's a bit wild down that end so I don't go near it very often. :)

    ‘Free fertiliser’, I thought-completely unprepared for the stench. And if you get it on your hands... 😷

    If you can't find a more productive use for it, it'll keep in a bottle (with a nice tight lid) over winter in a cool shed, or use it as a compost activator on your compost heap.
