I was reading an older issue of Mother Earth News and
found an ad that listed some great uses for Coffee
grounds in the garden.
1) Sprinkle used grounds around plants before rain or watering for slow-release nitrogen.
2) Add to compost piles to increases the nitrogen balance. Coffee filters and tea bags break sown rapidly during composting.
3) To make a gentle fast-acting liquid fertilizer, dilute a half pound of wet coffee grounds with five gallons of water.
4) Mix into soil for household plants or vegetables.
5) Encircle the base of plants with a coffee and eggshell barrier to repel pests.
6) If you are into vermi-posting feed a little bit to your worms.
