Living Green, One Tip at a Time - (a weekly feature)

Living Green, One tip at a Time -
Tip # 14


Save your old coffee grinds and reuse them as great fertilizer for indoor and outdoor plants! They are great for any acid loving plants,  put some all around the plant, then take a spoon or small spade and dig the coffee grounds into the soil an inch or so deep, then water. You can repeat a couple times a year.

    Rhodos and roses love this! I get coffee grounds a couple of times a year from the local Starbucks. They'll put them in a big bag for you if you ask.

    I wonder would Tim Horton's do that for us here in Canada. Rodos also like pine needles!!

    My father always told me to do that, he was an avid gardener. He also said tea and egg shells were great too.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. It's nice to meet another Martime blogger.:o)
