Wake Up Your Plants


Coffee for your Plants
After your morning coffee, remove the filter and grounds and set them aside to dry. When the grounds are thoroughly dried, scatter them around the garden as an organic plant food. Don’t use too much in one area because coffee grounds tend to raise the acidity of the soil. Use the filter to line the bottom of flowerpots to keep the soil from falling through the drainage holes.

My Grandma used to do this too and she had another trick of saving egg shells and crunching them up and adding them to the coffee grounds mix. I'm not sure what the shells did for the plants, but I do know she had a green thumb.
