I had heard that coffee grounds are great for the garden so I did some research and found these interesting tidbits about coffee grounds in gardens.
~Coffee Grounds are full of nutrients that acidic plants love! Especially fruits and Vegetables.
~It repels cats from using your garden as their own personal litterbox!
~Earthworms love coffee! Caffeinated worms get the job done faster! hehehe, kidding. but seriously, worms love coffee grounds so the more compost the more worms you will attract.
~use it for slug control. Slugs don't enjoy coffee but they Love to munch on your garden plants so keep them out.
Starbucks has had a program in place for years. They give it away for free! That's right, free. My hubby is so proud of me. (lol)
If they dont have any in the bin at the front of the store, just ask. They'll get you some. It also helps to know someone "on the inside" ;)
I can hardly wait to get some more for my strawberry hanging baskets too!
I forgot to do my strawberry plants! Oh well, guess i'll just have to make a trip to Starbucks today! Oh darn...
