I read an article today that said putting used tea bags in the garden soil to help give plants nutrients. Does anyone do this and do you see your plants looking better?

I've never tried this but I can see that it might work.

I've seen something similar. Hope you get some responses because I am curious if it works too.

Don't have a clue - not need for it in our garden. I am sure there are some on here that have done it.

I have read about gardeners doing this but I prefer to put them into the compost as an activator.

We just started using them, and haven't seen any improvment yet.

I am sure we will have to wait for a change. Nothing happens overnight. Where is your town located in Florida? I am on the east side and not far away from the water. The soil here is rotten.

I haven't done it yet but I was planning to. I read it in pinterest and using coffee grounds as compost.
