Take all your weeds, put them in a big bucket, fill up with water, put on a lid and "cook" in the sun for a couple of weeks. Open up, it will smell exactly like cow manure, and use as a manure tea for your plants. The cooking will have destroyed any viable seeds and weeding will take on a new perspective!

Stinging nettles are particularly good as a liquid fertiliser. I have given them this treatment a few times, but "cow manure" doesn't really do justice to the stench. It is beyond belief. Out of consideration for the neighbours I no longer make this kind of fertiliser (although in fact, once on the soil the smells disappears in a day or two.
