So, here we have the "retting tank" after a week.


It smells rather like a stagnant pond. Hardly a surprise, but I'm just re-discovering the delightful fragrance of 'rotting vegetation'.

Picking out one of them, the end splays apart quite easily:



But most of the nettles in there aren't quite there just yet. You can just about make out the fibrous bits in there, which are the ones I'm interested in.

So anyway, I've got my next batch under the tarp and drying out for my next attempt.
