Fertilizing plants organically seems to all to often involve messy composting or other substances which are somewhat unpleasant to have on your kitchen worktop. Enter PlanTea, a totally organic fertilizer which is easy to use - it comes in a convenient pillow that remarkably resembles a teabag - and unlike most organic plant food, it smells pleasantly of kelp and dried flowers with a whiff of ocean salt air. No nasty burning chemicals, and perfectly safe for kids and pets if they decide they fancy a nibble. Each teabag brews 2 cups of concentrate or 5 cups of dilute PlanTea. $10 per box, which contains a dozen bags. [GT]
