Does An Undiluted Mix Of Stinging Neetle Kill Weeds?

Question

I do potato farming in Kenya, and currently I am using organic fertilizer (tithonia, comfrey, stinging nettle, egg shells, onion peels). I soak them in water until they stop bubbling. Then spray either on leaves on into the spray, weekly. The results are amazing.

I read from your post that undiluted stinging nettle is a good herbicide. If I apply it on the farm, undiluted, say, two weeks before planting, will it kill the weeds?

Thanks.

I did some research on this question and have found nothing relevant to herbicidal properties in stinging nettle. I think it might make a better weed fertilizer since it contains quite a few nutrients. I haven't found any indication that it would kill weeds.
