Put your Used Coffee Grounds to use in the garden.
Don’t throw out those used coffee grounds. Put them to use in your garden. Just dig in the ground and filter next to your plants to nourish them.
This works especially well nitrogen-loving plants like camellias, hydrangeas, and roses. Not only will you have healthier plants, but you will also save money on fertilizer, and know that you are being “green” as a gardener.
Blueberries, cranberries and other citrus fruit like coffee added to their soil since they help to bring it closer to the 3.0 -5.0 PH that these plants need.
Coffee grounds are also known to deter slugs and snails, so sprinkle them around plants that these pests love, such as hostas and broccoli and brussel sprouts.
Coffee grounds make a great liquid feeder. Place a handful of coffee grounds into a bucket of water and leave them for a day or two. This will create a nice amber-colored liquid that you can use to feed plants as needed.
