Day 2: Permaculture and Plastic Free July - Grow a tea garden with Morag Gamble

Did you know that up to 25% of your standard teabag is plastic and that billions of micro plastics shed from the bag into each cup of tea your drink?

Swap to loose leaf, use a tea ball, tea pot or plunger. Buy loose tea in bulk from a zero-waste store or with friends. Or swap to homegrown teas. They are simple to grow - even in pots on a balcony or windowsill. You don't need much space. Some of my favourites that I grow just near my kitchen are: lemonbalm, lemon myrtle, mints, pineapple sage and tulsi. I also love adding fresh turmeric and ginger too.

What is your favourite homegrown tea?
