Add as much as you wish. Large quantities will do no harm to the plants. Plants will grow healthier and even flower more abundantly. The absorbent nature of the loose tea will also help retain the moisture content in the plant pot or plant holder.

Summary: Add the mixture to the soil of potted plants and flowers, before watering them. Watch the plants flourish.


Don’t rush out and buy a brand new ball to practice with! Using an old ball for spinning is actually better for beginners. The grooves in an older ball are worn down, making it easier for your finger to stay on target and balance while you spin the ball. Having a little bit of nail above your fingertip can help you balance the ball more easily, but if your nails are long, trim them! Long nails can get broken, or even make it impossible for you to spin. Spinning a basketball too hard or too quickly can strain your wrists or even fracture your finger! Spend a minute or two stretching your fingers and arms to warm them up before you practice. You don’t need to do any special exercises. Just extend your arms and fingers as far out as they can go, and repeat a few times.

Summary: Find an old basketball. Trim your nails. Stretch your fingers and arms.


If you aren't able to prompt slimes to spawn in a swamp biome, you may have more luck underground. Slimes spawn in caves located in "slime chunks", which are 16 x 16 x 16 block areas. You have a one in ten chance of coming across a slime chunk. When below layer 40, slimes can spawn in any light situation; adding torches will both make mining easier and prevent other hostile mobs from appearing. This constitutes a chunk. Slimes won't start spawning immediately while you're here, but you may be able to force them to do so by adding platforms. These platforms should be stacked on top of each other with three blocks of vertical space between each. Having these platforms increases the possible spawn area for slimes. As with the swamp biome, slimes won't spawn if you're 24 blocks (or closer) away from the spawn area. If you don't see any slimes within a standard night and day cycle, you'll need to find a new cave.

Summary: Search for caves below the 40th layer. Add torches to the cave. Clear out a 16 by 16 by 16 room. Create four one-block high platforms. Retreat at least 24 blocks away from the spawn area. Wait for slimes to spawn.


Sometimes you will have a singular verb paired with a plural verb in the same sequence. Look at the noun closest to the verb (usually the noun following "nor") to determine the tense. If this noun is plural, make your verb plural. If it is singular, make the verb singular.  If you're in doubt, read the just the second noun and the verb aloud to see if it sounds right. Incorrect example: "Neither they nor he are interested." Correct example: "Neither they nor he is interested." Incorrect example: "Neither he nor they is interested." Correct example: "Neither he nor they are interested." When “nor” sets off a dependent clause, no comma is necessary. Similarly, a comma is not necessary if “nor” is only used to draw a relationship between two nouns. If it sets off an independent clause, however, you should proceed the “nor” with a comma.  A dependent clause is a sentence fragment that relies on the rest of the sentence to be complete. An independent clause contains both a subject and a verb, and as a result, it could be separated from the rest of the sentence and still stand on its own. Correct example: “No one knew the answer, nor did they make a guess.” Incorrect example: “No one knew the answer nor did they make a guess.”
Summary: Look at only the second noun if the tenses are mixed. Use a comma when "nor" sets off an independent clause.
