Coffee grounds--upon what?
"Zemedelec" wrote in message ... The local Starbucks has taken to packaging its used coffee grounds in 5-pound, waterproof bags and leaving a barrel full of them by the door "for our customers' gardens". I love freebies, so midway through garaging I grabbed a bag and took it home with my garage/estate sale finds. Now what? Do I dump it around plants as it is or do I need to start a compost heap (in this 100+, 98 percent humidity weather the thought makes me cringe.) zemedelec You can scatter the grounds around any acid loving plant - hydrangeas, camellias, rhodies or azaleas - in fact, pretty much any broadleaf evergreen shrub will benefit from them. If scattering directly, I wouldn't overdo. A couple times a season is sufficient. You could always start that compost pile once the weather cools a bit. pam - gardengal |
