Just steep a bag in water for 1-3 days for a brown brew packed with soil-enriching nutrients. Use the “tea” to water your plants and let nature do the rest. Roots will grow stronger and dig deeper, leaves will be greener, blooms bolder. Get the same benefits as compost, minus the shoveling.

Authentic Haven makes a special alfalfa bag for rose gardeners. For everyone else, the cow manure bag works with virtually every other plant and flower, indoors or out. And no, they don’t stink. Each bag has a faint aroma of farm life and can be reused up to four times. Indoors or out, these brews are safe for all soil types. Feed your garden plants four times during the growing season, and your houseplants once a month. This brown tea will give you a green thumb.
