bardo Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Nettle that grows abundantly in the Bunya mountains. A great plant with very many uses, animal fodder, material, paper,rope, fabric etc. medicinal and edible and also very nutritious I have made teas from it and have made nettle gnocchi, have heard it is a decent spinach substitute but haven't tried it like that yet, next time i am thinking of using it in a veggie lasagna, also think about getting a bucket of it next time i go for a bush walk out that way and try make a nettle beer, i have read it is good for the liver and liver problems so sounds good for a brew : ) Have also read that it is a powerful antihistamine and useful treatment for asthma and such things ( may be good for the poppy tea drinkers who don't like the itch ? ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halcyon Daze Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 Nice pics, Tarenna. Did I ever thank you for sending me those Rusty Plums from a city park in Coffs. I have four that made it and they are nearly 3 ft high now. I am giving two to a native species and re-vegetation nursery on the coast. I'm sure they will spread them far and wide. Very Much Appreciated! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarenna Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Awesome HD - thanks heaps. I wondered how they went - I seem to recall (although this is going back a while) that a couple of the fruits probably had predatory cateprillars in the seeds... They came from Bruxner Park in the escarpment above Coffs H..... Would be nice to meet you in person one day - u still have the property in the hills of the Mid North Coast??

Late season nettles, particularly during flowering, are supposed to contain cystoliths that can irritate the kidneys. Plus they get so fibrous they can be difficult to process. You can use the late leaves for a pretty good fertiliser though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
