What do you usually do with the tea leaves after drinking tea? Just throw them in the trash?
This is the right move if you are not a summer resident.
But if you have a country plot, then you are making a serious mistake.
The thing is that tea leaves are a great “garden” remedy.
These crushed leaves can be used as fertilizer and mulch.
How to collect tea leaves correctly
It is most convenient to do this during the “dacha off-season”.
Collect tea leaves in late fall, winter and early spring.
Dry the crushed leaves and store them for several months.
How to use tea leaves at the dacha
As mentioned above, this mass can be used as mulch: just cover the soil with it. The result will be an improvement in the soil condition.
You can also add dried tea leaves to a hole before planting a particular plant: the garden crop will receive many useful components.
In other words, crushed tea leaves will act as fertilizer in this case.
