Don’t Toss Your Coffee Grounds — Here’s Where to Put Them (and Why)
🌿 1. Natural Fertilizer for Plants
Use: Sprinkle grounds directly into the soil or mix with compost.
Best for: Roses, tomatoes, hydrangeas, azaleas, and blueberries.
Why: Rich in nitrogen; improves soil structure and encourages blooming.
✅ Bonus: Attracts earthworms, which aerate your soil.
🦟 2. Insect & Pest Repellent
Use: Place dry grounds in small bowls near doors/windows, or sprinkle in the garden.
Repels: Ants, slugs, snails, mosquitoes, and even cats.
✅ Tip: Burn a small amount in a heat-safe dish outside to repel mosquitoes (works like incense).
🧽 3. Eco-Friendly Abrasive Cleaner
