The powers of caffeine are praised for their effects on the human body, but did you know that coffee can do wonders for plants in our backyard, too? That's right, it's time to stop throwing the ground bi-product of those now ubiquitous coffee machines away. Instead, you can use them to boost the growth of your garden.
We're not talking about the caffeine hit that you rely on first thing in the morning. Rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous, coffee grounds act as a natural fertilizer for your plants, giving them a boost of organic supplements to promote better health. It's not as easy as simply pouring your coffee residue over your garden or chucking your grounds onto the soil, however. You'll need to know how to apply them properly, and which plants to steer clear of.
