Caffeine versus slugs & snails

So far, all my spent coffee grinds, have ended up in my compostor ( I believe there was a thread on ukrg last year). After reading the following article, I'll separate the coffee and use it as a spray next year, on the allotment. It also mentions tea leaves as a good source http://preview.tinyurl.com/34gjnw2 It is more effective just to spread the coffee grounds around sensitive plants like hostas and delphiniums. Turning it into a spray isn't worth the effort. Most things of plant origin that we consume as stimulants and interesting tastes were intended for chemical warfare against plant parasites or fungi. It is sheer good luck that they do us no harm. Regards, Martin Brown |
