Hi Loho!
Well, I do not know the scientific value or fact, but my mom put coffe grounds on her garden and we had the best of everything. Also potatoe peels and scraps. Our TOmatoes were so good!!!
All acid-loving plants will benefit from coffee grounds, like pine trees, tomatoes, and roses. Check the plant’s preferred pH level.
Plants that have to be at work at 6:00 am
cannibal coffee plants
for more info try contacting juan valdez
I’ve heard that roses love coffee grounds. Also camillias. But most people throw their coffee grounds into the compost and it helps create a lovely dark loamy soil.
some plant live the acid from the grinds, as well it help stop some of a creepy crawlers (slugs)
Hydrangea. Coffee grounds add acid and the more acid the more blue the bloom.
Gardenias, azelea, rhododendra, and acid loving plant…but don’t pile them on too deep….will attract fruit flies big time. Good luck
I throw coffee grounds in all my flower beds…in moderation. Not only does it add acid to the soil…it also will lighten up the soil. It’s especially nice in compost piles.
I also give my plants (houseplants too) a drink of watered down coffee once every month. One cup of cooled coffee left over from the morning to 1 gallon of water. They seem to really like it.
ROSES!!!!!
You can also use them as the nitrogen source in the compost (instead of manure).
You can get major amounts at Starbucks. I’m sure other places will save them for you, but at Starbucks it’s a corp sponsored program to give grounds to gardeners. If they don’t give them to you, they pay to get rid of them. So, when they give them to you…. everybody wins!
