Yes Marge, when I started clearing the allotment in 2016 it was full of nettles, docks, and swathes of couch grass but finally after five years it is now (almost) weed free, so if I do get the occasional nettle rash nowadays the antidote, ie the dock leaves are no longer available to me, maybe I should have left the odd dock plant but it is now a little too late, If I do manage to spot one I shall nurture it like a flower. Thanks for mentioning it, it is something tha I had not thought of.
