Tea has tannin in it and is good for plants in small dose.I put it on my camilas as they are bushes.also the tea bags around roses or small shurbs (not pretty)keeps them moist and feeds them.And have a cuppa yourself.
I use teapot dregs too. Although, saying that, it's been a long time since I've used a teapot.
I get the used coffee grounds from my work canteen and sprinkle them around. I've got acid loving plants so ok if it's a bit acid. Although I think used grounds are supposed to be not very acid. Dunno if it helps but smells nice!

It's four thirty and I just can't sleep so decided to have a look on here. Ernie's ghostly gold tops you have made me laugh sooo much- thank you.
I will start to use tea on my camellias.
I must also stop dipping things straight into my pot of rooting powder
very witty, ernie, but very funny
I bought a gardenia 2 weeks ago and the nurseryman advised cold tea for watering it, but he did not know the science behind the suggestion.
