Tea is produced from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis evergreen shrub. Tea, a beloved beverage around the world, is typically made from infusing tea leaves with heated water. However, tea leaves are much more than just a component in a drink. After the process of infusion, the tea leaves are frequently discarded. Have you ever questioned whether they can be utilised for things besides only producing the beverage? Can you fertilise using tea leaves? Indeed, tea grounds make a great organic fertiliser. Polyphenols and appropriate amounts of other necessary nutrients are both present in tea leaves. Tea grinds are very good for plants because they aerate the soil and make the roots stronger. Tea has historically been infused using tea leaves. As is well known, tea is the second most popular beverage, immediately behind water. In order to make tea, tea leaves are dipped in warm water. Once this process is complete, everyone typically discards the tea leaves that were utilised. The spent tea leaves can really be reused for a variety of uses rather than being discarded. In addition to being used to make the infusion, tea leaves can be used for a variety of other things. Tea leaves can be recycled in various ways over and over again. The spent tea leaves can surely be put to a multitude of uses rather than being thrown away. Using tea leaves over and again is common in agriculture and farming. It should not at all be a surprise to anyone involved with these lines or a fan of botanicals. Used tea leaves or tea bags can be ground up and used as a fantastic organic fertiliser. You can use it to ensure that the plants in your garden grow properly! Fertilizer Made of Tea Grounds What exactly are fertilisers? As you are aware, fertilisers are substances—chemical or natural—that are added to soil and land to increase fertility. Fertilizers are widely utilised to grow higher-quality plants, which in turn result in better crops. Chemical fertilisers are synthetic materials, as the name implies, that crop producers employ to feed their plants. Despite its effectiveness, consumers frequently refrain from using chemical products on their plants. In most situations, organic fertilisers are the best choice. There are many commercial organic fertilisers on the market, ensuring crops develop safely and sustainably. The majority of these have high cost. Contrarily, tea grounds offer an affordable substitute for pricey organic fertilisers. Technically free of charge, tea grounds offer nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (abbreviated as N.P.K fertiliser). Instead of being thrown away, tea grinds are recycled and turned into a fantastic fertiliser. The development, general health, and vitality of the plant are all enhanced by the fertilising effects of tea grounds.

Hello, this is your mentor Minkyung.
Thank you for introducing an interesting topic! I've never thought of tea grounds used as fertilizer. To improve your report, you don't need to repeatedly write 'tea leaves can be used in various ways'. You might want to delete the sixth paragraph 'In addition to ~ thron away'. Also, because you mentioned 'various other ways', you could introduce another way tea grounds are used.
Keep up the work!
