Would you believe it, we are well and truly trying to reuse and recycle as much as we can for our garden and two allotments. There is not a day that goes by that we don’t seem to acquire something, are given something or gather something that ends up as a beneficial addition to our garden. Recently, the Mrs has had to pop into a couple of coffee shops to pick up sandwiches for her office. She has started to bring back out something for herself - and I don’t mean a cuppa or a sandwich, heavens no, we wouldn’t spend a marked up price for something we could make at home for a lot less. She has been coming out of the coffee shops with their waste coffee grinds. These are absolutely awesome for adding to the garden. I am no expert in chemistry, but the coffee grinds are full of the nutritious trace elements that the plants love. We have simply sprinkled the coffee grinds over the beds and around the plants, hoping that they will gain an extra spurt of growth from the grinds. The best thing is, this fertilizer is fundamentally free to us, and will help us to have a better harvest!
