| Has anyone ever heard of putting tea on the soil around your roses? I was told about it by a friend who said her grandmother put her spent teabags in her rose soil and it helped alot. do you have to brew the tea first or can you just put loose tea around the rose without brewing it first? Thanks, Joel. |

| Either. The tea leaves serve as a soil conditioner. Coffee grounds (brewed or unbrewed) can be used too. Tea adds some nitrogen (NPK is approx. 4-0-0, coffee is 2-0-0). |

| Now if we want to talk tea....how about ALFALFA TEA....smelly rotten definitely designed to make your neighbors call the salem witches club to drag you out. Now that kind of tea we all know about. The roses love it but you will hate it. Angela |
