Your Questions About Gardening

Daniel asks…

What is the best way to start growing your own tea leaves (buy/plant seeds, other)?

Interested initially for personal use, but also interested in knowing if this is worth pursuing as a business, land/space requirements, any other commercial needs. Any experienced insight (for either personal or commercial pursuit) would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

GardenersCardiff answers:

A certain type of Camilla bush is used for tea. I am sure one would need at least an area of 7 * 7 ft. They are slow growing. Do you have the right conditions for it–morning sun, afternoon shade? Also, you can use bay leaves or lemon grass for tea as well.

Susan asks…

Good books on growing your own herbs for brewing tea?

As the topic says. I am looking for books that explain the planning and how-to of growing your own herbs for tea.
Any suggestions then?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Any book that describes growing herbs is good. There isn’t a different procedure for growing herbs for brewing than growing them for beauty, or medicinal use, or culinary.

Which books might depend a little on your region. But unless you live in a tropical area, most herb books would work.

I suggest going to your local library, getting a stack of books on growing herbs (they’re all going to be on the same shelf, so once you find one, you find them all), and leafing through them. Probably 2 or 3 will grab your attention.

Thomas asks…

How do you grow your own tea leaves in the back yard so you can harvest your own tea .I live in sunny socal .?

Where do yopu get the seeds or seedlings and what kind do you look for? I just love too drink lipton ice tea and I also like growing a real green yard so this could be a fun project for me.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Tea comes from the young shoots of a Camellia species. You may be able to get the cultivar used for tea from mail-order nursery! Good luck.
