fertilizer Tea as a Fertilizer?

Is there anything beneficial for plants in a used tea bag?

Thanks

I believe black tea is high in manganese if you happen to have a deficiency but caffeine might cause problems, and tea is likely acidic.

What about decaffeinated then?

Some people just dont appreciate real humour now do they

Good one Quad, thanks for the giggle and snort.

So, is tea any good for plants or not? Plan on adding it to my compost pile.

Thanks again.

Unless you drink some ungodly amount of tea, I can't see that it would hurt anything. In the average compost pile, how many tea bags would you have to compost to change the composition much?
