Question
Claire (verified owner) –
Will growing stinging nettle in a large pot still allow for high nutrient and mineral content in the plant? Or does the plant have to be in the ground in order for it to source nutrients/minerals.

It’s fine to grow it in a pot. Nettles always wants plenty of nitrogen so its easy to give a rich soil in the pot. it’ll be fine nutrient-wise

The three stinging nettle starts arrived today in good shape. You did a super packaging job. I see why you charged so much for shipping. I was expecting maybe bare roots wrapped in a moist paper towel and plastic bag. They look healthy and full of life. Tried sprouting seeds twice, several dozen, not one came up. I really was hoping to get them going this year. Now I have a good chance.
