Tips for Nitrogen & Acid loving plants:

Energy Boosters

Did you just throw the tea bag after brewing tea? Save the used tea bags and coffee grounds for your plants. They help improve the plants overall health and growth.

Use coffee grounds to feed nitrogen and acid loving plants like camellias, hydrangeas and roses. Not only will you have healthier plants but also, save money on fertilizer. Coffee can also help reduce slugs in the garden.

Benefits of Used tea bags-

Used tea bags placed in the soil around the plants, helps retain the moisture and protects the soil from drying out between waterings.

Tea grounds (the residue remaining after brewing coffee) increase nutrient levels and improve soil quality as they decompose. Thus they prove to be great plant supplements and make great addition to compost piles.

Tannic acid in tea is great for acid-loving plants like roses and ferns.
