Time to do a bit of weeding. Anyone pull and drop nettle? Not sure of that's a thing or not.

the one thing I learned recently is that stress causes fertility, so if you want more of it, chop & drop.

Don't want more of it. Pulling roots as well. Although that is an impossibility with nettle

i think youll end up with more.

I would consider burning

with vinegar or flame. or solarizing with clear plastic if you're desperate.

It's a losing battle no matter what. Just looking for more uses for nettle.

Do you eat it? I have been getting it established to have some to eat.

agreed.

I use a weed torch when I want to clear a spot of any veg. it's temporary but effective.

it's all fodder for something.

If you’re tired of eating and drinking it, I think I heard it can be made into cordage

I'd chop and drop (string trimmer). And add some fertility to the soil with a cover crop like vetch/or wild pea (can't remember the name off hand). Often times the more noxious stuff grows in soil that's a bit more depleted, and it's natures way of adding back in what's missing.
