Here’s how used tea bags can become valuable allies for your garden.
For gardening, today there are many tips with natural products that we use every day and which allow you to save money, while thinking about the environment. If you drink tea and like natural gardening, you can reconcile your two little habits! Don’t throw away your used tea bags, you can recycle them and beautify your garden. Tea can have many benefits for taking care of your exterior.
These small packages, which generally end up in the trash, actually contain beneficial properties for your rose bushes, your seedlings, your compost, your houseplants, and many other things in the garden. The first instinct to have is to put them in the compost rather than in the trash. These are real stimulants for your compost. The speed at which tea decomposes makes it a natural accelerator that helps enrich the compost with rich organic matter, for a high-quality improvement of your garden soils.
It is also a real elixir for your roses and other plants. Simply bury your used tea bags under your rose bushes and ornamental plants. Rich in nutrients, tea bags, once in the soil, release nitrogen and other essential compounds that enrich the soil. This will stimulate the growth of plants to obtain beautiful flowers.
They also allow effective drainage. Place the used tea bags in the soil and water your plants. They will facilitate the flow of water while retaining the humidity necessary for the roots. A double benefit for the health of your plants at no additional cost.
It’s also an effective tip when you go on vacation since these precious little bags will help retain water and thus keep the soil moist for longer. You can also use them when you are seedling. This humidity that the tea creates will promote the growth of young shoots and ensure a good start to your seedlings. This increases your chances of success! You don’t have a garden? Good news, they are also very beneficial for your houseplants. Used tea bags, when used as mulch, deliver beneficial nutrients directly to plant roots.
