used tea bags instead of throwing them away in the garden

Why use used tea bags instead of throwing them away in the garden?



1. Worms eat tea leaves - Worms can safely eat tea leaves. When they process the leaves, they produce a higher “higher yield”, which is very beneficial for growing your soil plants.


 2. Teapots help retain water - Bury your tea bags near the roots of your plants to retain more water and stay healthy.


3. Bags decompose - Most British tea packs are made using a relative of bananas. Manila hemp is made using the fiber of the abaca leaf stems. The small amount of plastic they use to seal the bag and seal the tea bags will disappear in about 6 months.


 4. Reduce trash - Burying your tea bags in the garden or throwing them in the compost pile will help remove excess waste.



5. Teabags keep pests at bay - Used tea bags and coffee beans can help keep pests away from your plants. The scent prevents you from biting your plants.


6. Teabags help keep weeds in check - If you cover your tea bags in the garden, they will help prevent weed growth.


7. Tea adds extra to the soil - Tea leaves contain tonic acid and supplements that are natural fertilizers for your garden. When the tea leaves break, they expel excess material from the soil, creating a more favorable growing condition.



8. Scent works on cats and other pets - Spray coffee beans or tea gardens around your garden to prevent pets from urinating on your plants. You can also do this with your indoor plants.


9. Tea expands the decomposition of other substances - The acid in the tea accelerates the decomposition process of various substances in the compost bin, which means that you apply the fertilizer much faster.


 10. Grow Your Tea Bags Garden - Believe it or not, you can grow your own specific garden with used tea bags, seeds, a plastic tray, water, and a piece of paper. You can grow your seeds with tea bags and then plant them in the garden.

7 Big Impact Dwarf Flowering Shrubs

Scale with dwarf flowering shrubs Big gardens have a season in life, and we have unlimited energy to maintain perennial gardens and a quarter-acre vegetable patch that produces enough food for the entire neighborhood. But if you have a balcony garden or small garden three floors up when you're starting out, you can still use dwarf shrubs to create a beautiful outdoor living space. Dwarf shrubs are perfect for small space gardens When thoughtfully designed, a small space garden can be as visually appealing and emotionally pleasing as a sprawling yard. No need to sacrifice your favorite shrubs like roses and lilacs. You need to choose the right size varieties to match the size of the space. A short hedge or even a casket of flowering shrubs may be just what you need to make your patio feel like "home." Dual purpose dwarf shrubs One key to making the most of any space—but especially a small one—is choosing plants with a dual purpose. Peach sorbet blueberries pro...

It's not a yellow ladybug - it's an invasive Asian lady beetle

It's not a yellow ladybug They are similar, but one type helps control unwanted pests in the garden, while the other is a pest. Here's how to tell them apart. You usually want to see a ladybug in your garden, but the yellow ladybug doesn't look like one — it's an Asian beetle. Ladybugs are beneficial to your garden because they eat plant pests. However, many colored Asian beetles look like yellow ladybugs, but have turned out to be an insect. It is common to find large numbers of Asian lady beetles congregating in houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and emit an unpleasant odor when disturbed.

11 Succulents That'll Grow Without Bright Light

 Low light Succulents  Even in a home with limited natural light, you can keep plants, including succulents. There are many low-light succulents that can grow without bright light. They may not thrive or grow as easily as partial or bright light, but they are available. Most succulents are drought tolerant, which means you don't need to water as often, so they're fairly easy to care for once you learn their needs. Can succulents grow in low light? Succulents can grow in low light, although they will not grow as well as in bright, indirect light. They cannot grow in complete darkness, so try to find at least a partially shaded spot. They may start to grow a little leggy as they seek sun, but you can prune and propagate to adjust their appearance. 1.
