More Reasons to Love Coffee


I've been doing this for years and it fertilizes your plants and composts too! Be Lazy - just sprinkle it on top of the earth.

There are a few tips for the advanced Lazy Housekeeper:
  1. Don't always put this on the same plants since too much nitrogen will kill plants. Rotate through your garden and keep doing it in winter;
  2. If you have slug problems create a ring around the affected plants with the used coffee grounds... slugs don't like crawling over this stuff;
  3. You can use this as a squirrel deterrent. Let's be honest; not much deters them consistently but they don't like the strong smell of coffee grounds.


Which of these visuals do you like better? I'm trying to figure out what I'll use going forward - thanks!
