1 Ingredient DIY Magic Rose & House Plant Feed
Hello once more to you nice people.
Thought I'd share how I feed my Rose bush and many more plants in my garden.
This feed will add much needed nitrogen to your garden and it's such a simple method that's been used for years. It also works wonders on house plants.
You will only need to keep your tea bags once you have had your morning tea preferably from a tea pot.
Start collecting them in a container.
Rome was built on tea. :)
I started off with 10 tea bags in total of Yorkshire & Tetley.
I leave them to dry naturally on the sink counter like below.
Once dry start to rip the bags open
The tea is great as an added feed to all plants. It adds nitrogen to the soil and boost the plant's growth.
Empty all of the tea from the bags into a bigger bowl and let it sit until it's completely dry.
Now you're ready to go! Time to add to your chosen plants to feed.
I have fed my Queen Elizabeth rose bush tea for years now with this method.
Just add your dry tea to the top soil all around your plants.
Spread it evenly around the soil.
Then water around the bottom of the bush so the tea soaks into the soil feeding your much loved roses.
I have fed my rose bush (Queen Elizabeth) for years now.
The buds are amazing, very pretty looking.
So full!
Lots of buds and roses!
Beautiful!
Hope you try my magic, easy feed using tea bags and saving them from the bin.
Since roses love the tannic acid, sprinkle tea leaves around the bush seeping into the soil.
Every time you water the soil you will add nourishment making your roses grow like crazy

No question but a tea bag tip. I had a steamer trunk I bought and it had a musty smell. I tossed a few used dried tea bags in it and it took the smell away. I used them also under my sink to remove musty smell. They are great

I will keep that tip in mind, and use it.
Thanks
