Lesson 28: Stinging Nettle
In this video I discuss the medicinal and culinary uses of Nettles - one of the most powerful medicinal herbs, nutritious and delicious wild greens. I also explain how you can grow them in containers to have fresh nettles year-round.

Nettle is such a wonderful herb! I will have to do something like your bucket system.
I wonder, why do you pull the larger ones rather than cut them back and let them resprout as perennials? I would think that they would regrow after being cut, but maybe not in the indoor environment?
