[UPDATE] Nettle tea for dragon fruit plants 🌿

Hey everyone

this is a follow-up to my previous post about making nettle fertilizer tea

( https://www.reddit.com/r/Permaculture/comments/1oewgel/has_anyone_really_seen_results_with_nettle_tea_as/ )

I used a bit over 2 kg (around 4.5 lbs) of fresh nettles, which fermented in about 50 liters (~13 gal) of water for 16 days, stirring almost every day

After that, I topped up the barrel with another 50 liters of clean water to reach roughly a 1:2 concentration. ( Video: https://imgur.com/a/NIhjOSZ )

For the application, I used a 5-liter bucket (~1.3 gal) and mixed 1 part nettle tea to 4 parts water —so a 1:4 ratio (please correct me if you think this dilution could be adjusted).

( Video of that too: https://imgur.com/a/U2MVMsy / https://imgur.com/a/P4425By )

I poured about half a bucket per post, and each post supports 3–4 dragon fruit plants

Now we’re just waiting to see if there are any visible results or noticeable improvements.
I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share their own experiences (good or bad) using nettle tea or similar natural fertilizers —and any tips or insights are more than welcome!

I’ll keep posting updates as things progress.
Not the best time of the year since summer just ended and we’re heading into fall, so growth naturally slows down as the plants prepare for the colder months.

Wishing everyone a great harvest season! 🌱
