Woollen vests and cold tea leaves, I don't know which are worst!  

My grandma used to empty the used tea leaves on the soil round the base of her roses!

Nowadays, i just throw the whole tea bag on the flowers. Same with coffee grounds.

Thats the proper use of old tea leaves Pels ... why are you so surprised ??



(I have to say that a distant member of my family uses a T-bag once; then pegs it up on a little line in his kitchen to dry it; then he uses it again ... and again ...)



Yukky, yuk !
