How to use Tea as a Compost To My Plants?

[shilparamam]

We all drink Tea in early morning and sometimes evening too and the boiled tea powder is waste, however I have heard it is used as compost. Does somebody advice me how to do it?

If you have made your own compost tea, dilute with water in a 1:3 ratio (one part compost tea and 3 parts water) and then water the plant, or spray in the leves. However, if you have bought from a store, you will see the direction of use in the label.

Thanks @Nomad
I heard we need to clean that compost because sugar is their inside tea and have to clean clearly. Did you ever done this to your plants if so how it goes and which plants we need to tea compost?

Just clean the Tea compost and dry it plus grind it, use 1 or 2 spoons to spread around the plant. Once done watch the plant after a week and you'll see some positive results.

Ok, I have noticed some things when added, but still want to investigate. Does Tea compost have Nitrogen or potassium?

Can we use fresh tea ?
