I'm pretty busy in the garden. A brief precis would help me understand if this is worth my time. Thanks!

From the youtube blurb.

This look at dynamic accumulators uses stinging nettle to reveal one myth - and the accurate understanding of accumulation. I want to thank Wendy for cutting the nettles - ever so slowly. The blues music is "Sweet Dreams" by Elvin Bishop. To purchase the featured book - Sustainable Food Gardens - go to  https://robertkourik.com/



In the video he mentions David Duke's plant nutritional work for USDA.
Here is Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical database.

He is talking about the nutrition value of stinging nettle does not necessarily associate with having a deep tap root. The shapes of roots are affected by growing conditions.
 
Gravity is a harsh mistress. But this tiny ad is pretty easy to deal with:
