I take 4 grams a day; my husband (bipolar) takes 9 grams a day.
It seems to help stabilize his mood.

You really could make teas either way; for medicinal purposes
most tea leaves are dried (gently) first, then steeped for tea.
Experiment with what you have, and see which you like best.
Mint is most interesting:
   you can dry it, and make a hot tea with the dried leaves
  you can take the fresh leaves, put a few in a jar of cold
    water, and keep it in the frig.  We did this all last summer in
    the hot days.  You can actually refill the water 2-3 times before
    the leaves are spent.
Mint tea and mint water taste different; the cold-soaked mint water
is mostly just essential oils, I think.

To enrich soil: COMPOST!  You can make your own from grass clippings,
vegetable scraps, leaves, even coffee grounds.  You can find any number
of
books/pamphlets/etc. about composting.  Composted manure is great
too, even if you buy it in bags (already composted by somebody else).
My personal solution is Chickens.
