Reusing Coffee Grounds

January 15, 2010

Every morning, my husband brews a cup of coffee and then dumps the used coffee grounds on a plant we have in our kitchen window.  The plant LOVES it.  It’s grows quickly and is a beautiful, rich green.

Whenever I am at Starbucks, I always look for their bin of FREE coffee grounds.  You can imagine that they have tons to give away and I am happy to take them.  I use them for any plant that likes acidic soil.  In the spring, they’ll go on our struggling blueberry plants.  My neighbor uses it change the color of the blooms on her hydrangea plants.  You can also add them to your compost or worm bin.

If you don’t have plants to add the grounds to, here are other suggestions from How To Do Things.com.
