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?
Mint hay or "mint compost" is the stuff that's left after the oils are
harvested. Runs about 2.0-0.8-2.8 (NPK). Mint tea would be much, much
less concentrated than that. So it sounds like a very expensive way to
add minimal soil nutrients.
Mint oils are terpene derivatives... no NPK.
