Coffee grounds and garden vegetable gardens

After making coffee every time, how do you usually deal with the remaining coffee grounds? Do you throw them directly into the trash can?

In fact, there are many wonderful uses for coffee grounds. It is too wasteful to throw them away directly. It is better to recycle them. Today we will mainly talk about coffee grounds and garden vegetable gardens.

Coffee grounds contain a lot of nitrogen compounds and are acidic, so they can be used as fertilizer for plants that like acid, such as azaleas, roses, camellias, Milan...

Coffee grounds can help them produce more beautiful and colorful flowers.

It should be noted here that coffee grounds are acidic substances and are suitable for plants that prefer acidic soil, so they are not suitable for all flowers.

Although coffee grounds can be used as flower fertilizer, they need to be composted. Generally speaking, they need to be composted for two or three months before being used as flower fertilizer.

How to compost

Mix some soil and coffee grounds. If you can add some vegetable and fruit waste from the kitchen, the effect will be better. Then sprinkle water on it and keep it moist. It can be used in two or three months depending on the situation.

What if you don’t have a garden at home, but only some potted plants?

If you don't have a garden and don't need so much coffee grounds, you can directly add them into the flower pots. After a period of time, the coffee grounds will gradually turn into fertilizer, making the flowers grow stronger. What you need to pay attention to here is to keep them away from the roots of the plants to prevent the coffee grounds from "burning" the roots.

Coffee grounds prevent slugs and snails from damaging your plants.

Whether it is a flower garden or a vegetable garden, there will be insects such as slugs and snails, which will cause certain damage to plants. It is sometimes inconvenient to spray pesticides, such as when there are children or pets at home. And if it is inside a vegetable garden, it will be even more reluctant to spray pesticides. So what should I do?

It's actually very simple. Just sprinkle some coffee grounds. Slugs, snails and some insects don't like the acidity of coffee, so if you sprinkle some coffee grounds on the ground, they will avoid it.

Coffee grounds can also attract earthworms

While we mentioned above that coffee can repel some insects, you might not imagine that it can attract earthworms.

Coffee grounds contain nitrogen compounds, and earthworms love nitrogen, so they will attract earthworms. Earthworms can make the soil soft and fertile, allowing plants to grow more luxuriantly.

Stop cats from attacking your garden or home plants

It is a headache to have some stray cats visiting the garden. This is especially true if there are children at home who like to play in the garden or bask in the sun. They may be scratched by stray cats accidentally. This is really unbearable. At this time, you can sprinkle some coffee grounds and some orange peels in the garden, and the cats will be unwilling to visit. It is super useful.

If you have a cat at home, it will always be interested in the flowers in the pots. You can't hit it (after all, it is your cat), and you can't watch it often. You can put some coffee grounds or orange peels in the pots. The cat will definitely be too lazy to touch them.

Today we will briefly talk about the uses of coffee grounds in vegetable gardens and flower gardens. In the next issue, I will give you a detailed introduction to other uses of coffee grounds. So coffee friends can tell me in the comment section what other uses you know, and I will actively try them.
