Okay, I have a pile of compost that I'm not using up quickly enough and now it's covered in weeds. One of the weeds, in particular, stings when you touch it. Even when you just brush against it.
It droops quickly when you pull it; this is just barely holding itself up. Anybody know what this is?

Stinging Nettle. Lovely feeling, huh?
Make sure that you get as much root as possible out so it doesn't come back.

Stinging nettles for sure - the bane of my existence (or one of them at least!).
Stinging Nettle does have medicinal benefits however:
