using used tea bags to cover pot drainage holes

I saw this interesting suggestion I thought I should share.  Instead of putting your tea bags in your garbage (or compost) place them in the bottom of your pots before planting.  This helps keep the soil from draining out when you water and allows some nutrient to seep into your soil.

    Hm, never thought of that. Good idea! I usually put a broken bit of pot or a few layers of newspaper over the drain hole, then some gravel or small broken pot pits over that.
