Howdy, I was sitting here drinking my tea and got to wonder....can i put my used tea bags in my water as im declorinating it. Im wondering if it will help pring down ph in the tap water?

how n why do you think that will help bring the ph down? are you growing in soil?

I think tea is acidic, and my water is 8 out of the tap.
Yes I am growing in soil also.

yeah thats way to high.. use some lemon juice for a short term ph lowerer, that what i do or get some ph down at a hydro shop for 8 bux..

Ya thats what I do now but I thought If i have the bags here I might as well seep them in to the water and see if I can get some free...er organic h2o.

Do it!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so this last week every day I chucked my used tea bags in hy h2o and it did bring it down...alittle. 8.0 - 7.6

So next week Im going to put some brewed Tea in it to see if it brings it down more. It could be a inexpensive way for me to control my h2o ph. Can anyone think of any down side to this? I was thinking about coffee also but that will be later.

I see no down side but I definitely love the idea because it is pure organics and that is how I role.

I put my used tea bags in my compost and also pour unused coffee, coffee grounds, and filter in my bin.
