Hello!

I know that you can use comfrey tea, and even normal 'builders' tea
as a plant fertilizer.

Can anyone think of a reason why I shouldnt use Peppermint Tea?

It must contain nitrogen and other goodness?


Must it? Because it smells so nice? I doubt there is any significant
mineral content. Think of it this way, there is little nutrition in whole
leaves and your tea is only extracting a small amount of what is there. I
could be wrong and I haven't seen any analysis that would settle it one way
or the other.

Maybe "USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference"

Enter "Mentha spicata", and select "spices and herbs" from "Food Groups".

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And itıs not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. Thatıs hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they donıt get away with no taxation.
