Hi,
Has anyone heard of using tea to water your plants? On one site I read that it helps a plant that has root rot because it has antifungal agents in it. Other sites just mention using tea, but I really did not see a reason. Has anyone tried this? What does it do?
Thanks for your input.

Pat Im really late with this answer and I hope you see it.In addition to the reputed benefit of tannin, tea can be particularly good for those with hard water (high in salts). Hard water salt can accumulate in plant soil, eventually leading to sunburn, damage, and eventually death.
Coffee-ground mulch will help reduce the ravages of slugs and snails. Use your coffee grounds to mulch plants that slugs love to feast on, such as hostas, ligularias and lilies. Coffee-ground mulch will help promote healthy growth in daffodils and other spring bulbs as well.
