Benefits of tea for soil and plants

Nutrient boost: Tea leaves are a natural source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential nutrients for plant growth. They also contain tannins.

Improved soil structure: They enhance soil aeration and drainage, leading to better overall soil health.

Moisture retention: They help soil hold moisture, which can reduce the frequency of watering.

Pest and weed control: The scent of tea leaves can repel pests like slugs and snails, while they also act as a natural weed suppressor.

Compost accelerator: Adding tea leaves to a compost pile provides nitrogen and moisture, helping to balance carbon-rich materials and speed up the decomposition process.

Beneficial for acid-loving plants: Tea leaves are slightly acidic, which is beneficial for plants that prefer a lower pH, such as azaleas and camellias.

Stimulates beneficial organisms: The organic matter encourages beneficial microbial activity and attracts earthworms to the soil. 

How to use tea in your garden

Bury the leaves: Spread used tea leaves directly onto the soil surface or mix them into the top layer of soil.

Compost them: Add used tea bags (without any staples) or loose leaves to your compost bin.

Create a liquid fertilizer: Steep used tea bags in water for a couple of days to create a natural liquid fertilizer. You can also pour leftover brewed tea with the leaves directly onto plants.
