| I've been mulching my acid soil plants with tea bags and have now run out of plants but not tea bags... Will they be good for non-acid plants or should they go in the compost bin. They seem to work well as a mulch, when the tops get dry the bottom is keeping the soil nice and damp and when it rains they plump up and hold the water. Sue |

| Cheese and mice Sue - how much tea do you drink? Just given me a thought though... The coffee (although that could be deemed an infringment of the trade descriptions act) machine at work is serviced almost daily, and some of the drink selections include "fresh brew" coffee of various descriptions. Wonder what they do with the grinds....

| My OH used to quietly 'liberate' the coffee grounds from the machine at work, - he kept it secret because another employee also had a lottie and he was too mean to share the supply, there was a lot of macho 'my onions are bigger than yours' going on - it ended when the machine was replaced with an instant one. I always rip the tea-bags in half before I put them in the caddy though as the paper (or whatever it is) seems to take forever to rot otherwise, but perhaps that's just the brand I use. |
