Spent Tea Leaves and Gardening

 When you incorporate tea leaves into your garden soil, they release nitrogen naturally which helps balance out any carbon-rich materials that may already be present. Reusing tea leaves also helps you improve drainage and adds to soil structure. From black to green to oolong—tea leaves are about to become your secret weapon to warding off those annoying insects, spiders and snails from eating and destroying your beautiful garden. Just burry the leaves around your plants and let it work its magic.
