Nutrients: Coffee grounds add nitrogen, and tea leaves add potassium and phosphorus, which are all good for plants.
Soil Quality: Mixing these grounds into your soil helps it hold water better and stay loose.
Pest Control: The strong smells of coffee and tea help keep pests like ants and slugs away.
How to Use Coffee Grounds in Your Garden!
Direct Application: Simply scatter the grounds around the soil base of your plants. This works great for acid-loving plants like blueberries, Strawberries, Rhubarb!
Compost It: Mix coffee/Tea grounds into your compost heap to boost nutrient content.
