Starbucks Coffee Grounds
I got this complimentary 5-pound bag of used coffee grounds from Starbucks. My store keeps them near the bagged coffees. Here’s an article about all the benefits of using coffee grounds in the garden. You can add grounds to compost or use them as mulch. They benefit plants because they’re high in Nitrogen, and they help bring down soil pH. Supposedly they deter slugs & snails. And if they’re fresh, the smell is nice as well.


You’ve got me so excited! This has got to be one of the neatest things I’ve heard in a while. Going out for my grounds.
