Bury Used Tea Bags In Garden |
|
|
I knew that used tea leaves could be used to enrich garden soil. It finally occurred to me that I did NOT have to tear open all the TEA BAGS but just bury them in the garden as is and they will decompose!

I am new to tea bags in the garden. I tested my soil for tomatoes and it is off the chart alkiline - 8+.I put a used tea bag on top of ground near 2 tomato plants, as a test to add acid and help bring down the ph of the soil. I have read tomatoes like a 6 PH. Will post the results at the end of the summer

I just toss mine in the compost pile with everything else (make sure there are no metal staples in the bags first). When I have leftover tea that someone hasn't finished, I use it to water my plants. It really seems to perk them up.

You don't even need to bury them, just throw them on the surface and they rot down brilliantly. I use them around camellias and other ericacaeous plants.
