Place the filled bag on some flat surface.

After this, place the seeds in the soil-tea mixture.

After the shoots have emerged and the picking phase has been reached, the seedlings can be transplanted into a pot or into open ground.

You don't have to remove the tea bag. You can plant the seedlings right in it.

It turns out to be very convenient: the risk of damaging the flora is seriously reduced.

It is worth emphasizing that tea leaves are a wonderful fertilizer.

Important: the bag must be made of natural material. It is not allowed to use a bag containing synthetic elements as a peat tablet.
