"I make three to four cups of tea a day and add the leftover tea leaves to my compost,” Etemadipour says. “This allows for more nitrogen in my pile, which is what speeds up the decomposition.” </p> <p id="mntl-sc-block_7-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Sue Ure, a homeware designer and gardening expert in the southwest of France, is an enthusiastic tea drinker and her used tea bags go straight into the compost bin, as well. "I use tea bags more often than loose tea and try to buy ones that are compostable," she says. "It turns out most tea bags, like almost everything else, contain microplastics. If you aren’t sure whether your teabags are plastic-free, it’s best to compost the tea and discard the bag."<br/> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_8-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block marthastewart-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link--related"><a href="https://www.marthastewart.com/331845/composting-101" rel="nocaes" id="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link__link_2-0" class="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link__link mntl-text-link text-utility-300 global-link" data-tracking-container="true" data-tracking-id="featured-link" ><span class="link__wrapper">A Beginner's Guide to Composting, According to Experts</span></a> </div></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block-adslot_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block" data-item-index="1"></div> <div id="list-sc-item_2-0" class="comp list-sc-item mntl-block mntl-sc-list-item"><div id="mntl-list-marker_2-0" class="comp mntl-list-marker mntl-list-marker--numbers"> <div class="content-list-number"> <span class="content-list-number__item-number text-title-200-moderate">02</span> <span class="content-list-number__total text-utility-100">of 05</span> </div> </div> <span class="heading-toc" id="toc-ward-off-weeds"></span><h2 id="mntl-sc-block_9-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block marthastewart-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-list-item-title"> <span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> Ward Off Weeds </span> </h2> <p id="mntl-sc-block_10-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> While used tea leaves may not directly help ward off weeds, sowing them into <a href="https://www.marthastewart.com/what-is-mulch-made-of-7642700" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">a healthy mulch</a> is a surefire trick to keep the weeds at bay.

"This can help increase the nutrient content, encourage beneficial microbial activity, and even improve soil structure," says Etemadipour. "The leaves are also slightly acidic, which is great for acid-loving plants. I swear by adding the tea leaves to my roses specifically." When her plants need a bit of extra support, Etemadipour might also add leftover tea by re-steeping tea leaves and using the second, weaker cup directly in her garden. </p> <p id="mntl-sc-block_13-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Ure also recommends adding tea along with the leaves if the plant enjoys the extra dose of nutrients. "When I drink loose tea, I might well empty the remainder of any cold tea, along with the leaves, onto a large azalea I’ve got growing just outside my kitchen door," Ure says.
