I'm trying to drink less coffee and more water and tea. But sometimes I justify drinking more coffee because I don't want to waste any coffee leftover in the pot.
But there is no need to throw it out because you can use it to fertilize your garden...
Here is how...
- dilute leftover coffee- add 3 parts water to 1 part coffee
- pour over the soil at the base of your plants that need an extra energy boost
- coffee has calcium and magnesium- both beneficial to plant health
- till coffee grounds into the top 6 inches of soil when preparing new plant beds to fertilize and improve organic soil texture
- throw coffee grounds on surface of garden to discourage slugs and other pests
