I am in the process of trying to tame an area of nettles like that @silvertop. It's a hidden spot in the garden where grass clippings etc have been thrown for about 40 years!so the soil there is crazy high in nitrogen, and nettles thrive there.Did you know if you chop down nettles and put them in a bucket of water and leave for 2-3 weeks, then strainthe resulting STINKY liquid, you have a super liquid feed for plants. Its especially good for anything that wants a lot of nitrogen, such as leafy greens, or also for tomatoes early in the season, before they start to flower.
