Gardening - and coffffeee! Yum

We've got busy in the garden last weekend - built a couple more beds - filled with delicious leaf mold, manure and coffee grounds. I've been collecting some coffee grounds from the cafe I work at - it's apparently great in the garden for balancing/increasing nitrogen levels in the soil - the plants love it! They also, if spread on the topsoil around plants, will  deter some plant pests.. -  never throw out coffee grounds! They are great in the compost or straight in the garden. And I'm sure most cafes would be happy to give their coffee grounds away - as most I know, ends up in the rubbish.  Read more here: Coffee grounds
