We drink a lot of fresh coffee every day and have lots of leftover coffee grounds. We compost them usually but I have heard somewhere leftover coffee is beneficial for some plants. Any ideas? Thanks, Julie

azaleas and tomatoes. Any acid loving plants.
all of my plants love the coffee and tea grounds
i’ve always take my coffee grounds and lay them around my rose bush it helps them grow better
Just saw Martha (UGH) on the Today Show yesterday. Any acid loving plants will benefit from this. The trick is to determine what plants love acid.
BY adding coffee grounds/coffee to the soil, you are adding some acid. Tomatoes, azaleas, geraniums, mandevillas, bougainvilleas, etc for outside plants. There are also a lot of inside plants that love coffee…spider (AKA airplane) plant, the plant that some folks call a philodendron, etc…
