OUR PHILOSOPHY

It was also considered an oracle plant, a means of protection against evil spirits in the stable and a cult food. The bast fibers were once used to make fabric and paper, which is now being rediscovered in some cases. Nettle liquid manure can also be used as a bio-fertilizer, resulting in a better harvest and improving soil quality.

Note

Caterpillars also like to eat nettle leaves, so nature lovers should not collect nettles if the eggs of butterflies or caterpillars are visible. 50 different butterfly species such as the admiral, small fox or peacock butterfly lay their eggs on the leaves. Nettles are therefore a valuable herb for biodiversity.
