my grandmother told me this also teabags are good for rosebushes

I am stoked I found this website! The information on the coffee grounds are priceless and all the advice and tips from everyone = totally awesome. I was given a Kashi bar one day and didn’t know it would lead to a world of natural great health. Happy camper :)

I already put them in my garden. They make my plants grow bigger.

Just don’t put them down the disposal.

Never throw away banana peels. They are bio degrade able for plants indoors and out. Banana peels will only turn black and not get moldy. Cut into little squares and put around any plant as a fertilizer. Do this if u aren’t composting.

Love this tip! I have never heard about any of this. I espically like adding it to the garden and using as a stain. I have a Cub Scout PAck and we will try both of these. Something else that works for getting odors off of hands (onion,garlic) is poring some table salt on your damp hands and rub together ans rince, works everytime! I do not have a problem with it drying my hands out either! ~

I did like it don’t know why it comes up that I didnt

I add a little less water and reperk the next day

After cutting up some garlic for my mushroom omelet, I had washed my hands but still had a garlic smell to them I then rubbed my hands in my leftover grounds and it worked like a charm! Thanks for the tip :)

Thanks! you helped me kill the ants in my garden !!!

Love this website! Thanks for all of the great ideas.

Put the grounds on houseplants, flowers in yard, rosebushes, and other kinds of plants. I repost this to be able to log as my post.

I have heard to use grounds for ants, and I do, but really have no clue what it is supposed to do. I just know that I have a serious any problem in my yard. Both neighbors use pesticides in their yard. I do not use any pesticides, so the ants naturally come to my yard. I know ants are good, and I welcome all wildlife to my yard, but it’s getting quite dicey to work in my garden now because there are SO many ant farms…and many different kinds of ants…from tiny red ants to giant red ants. Sigh…

awesome info thanks

Thanks for all the useful info!!! I always conserve everywhere& on anything.I’m big into savings and i dont buy unless i have coupons for the things i need. I’m grateful for this wesite and everyone who put their time into all the info on it,the Kashi Team,the Kashi products and of course my family. Love Ya’ll :) thanks!!

Ive always saved my coffee grounds to mix with fine egg shells for plants as well as use in my garden. Its great for the plants!

WOW! Didn’t know any of the stuff about reusing ground coffee. THANKS!

Just be aware if you use it as a natural wood stain, it is not waterproof :).

I knew about putting them in compost but never knew the other uses for coffee grounds. I will utilize these suggestions and pass them on.

I used coffee grounds to feed my tortoise.

I use the tea from my tea bags to put on my acid loving plants and to help keep the soil moist like a mulch. During summer all that iced tea produced lots of tea bags. I put the whole bag around the base of the plants and formed a little layer of insulation.

This is fucked

I like the idea of the natural wood stain, who would have known?

I have a neighbor who swears adding unused brewed coffee (No sugar, etc.) to her flower bed and used coffee grounds to the soil makes her roses pop.

I have used coffee grounds around our roses.

I sprinkle coffee grounds in my garden every year. You can get free fresh grounds at Starbucks just for asking and I also save my own. Acid loving plants love them so I sprinkle them on my azaleas, too.

And also I would like to know if the coffee grounds help to promote the growth of the grass in the empty spots in Florida ( where I currently reside)?

thanks for the info… will be doing a whole lot more with my coffee grounds for now on.

they are really good to sprinkle around acid loving plants like azaleas & hollies and then water into the soil

I have problem with street cats littering all over my flower garden then digging out the wood chip or mulch on the cement. The garden smells awful. My coworker then told me to put coffee grounds or orange/citrus peels on my garden keep out street cats from littering all over. Is that true?

Such a good exfoliant!

I am so glad to know they repel ants. I went out and dumped them in the ant-spots of the yard straight away.

I have been doing this for some time….i believe everything on this earth can be reused for a purpose….

Our plants’ soil is in need of nutrients, so I saved today’s coffee grounds for them.

You can also use them as a facial scrub to slough off skin cells and tighten skin.
Messy, though.

Coffee Grounds that have been used can be rubbed on your thighs to tighten up your skin. Very productive against cellulite! Just rub them on your back upper thighs in the bath. It’s messy but so worth it.

I put the grounds in my composter daily.

I NEVER discard coffee grounds or old coffee! They are good in the garden, on the lawn, in compost, and sprinkled around the base of acid-loving plants and shrubs like rhodeodendron and evergreens. We’ve transplanted moss from all over the place into shady areas around the property, and the mosses thrive from having coffee grounds scattered on them. I did not realize they had so many other uses though.

I use coffee grounds and old coffee religiously in the garden and on my house plants! I just learned about this within the last year and since starting my plants are growing great and are greener than ever!!

i knew about using the coffee grounds in the garden, as a body scrub, composting but i did not know about the ants or using on the lawn. will be using that as well as the tea bags to enrich my lawn and hopefully get rid of the ants.

Coffee grounds makes great cellulite fighting body scrub!!!!! seriously!!!
I mix my coffee grounds with lotion or cream(any face or body lotion and cream will do)
and little bit of extra virgin coconut oil and Use it like a body scrub in shower and rinse out. It makes my skin so Smooooth and help remove appearance of cellulite over time. Most of cellulite treatment cream contains caffeines so do coffee. :)

My mom has always used coffee grounds in her soil and I have also done so, my flowers on my deck at my apartment are gorgeous. I also learned from her that if you have a rodent or rabbit problem mix the coffee grounds with ground up orange peels and it deters them, they hate the taste when it gets on there feet or fur.
It deters ants because of the acid, however it will not deter fire ants.
I also reuse my coffee grounds as a cleaner for dishes when camping.

I throw used coffee grinds and tea leaves on my lawn to enrich the soil

My grandmother always put her coffee grounds, among other things right into a pile in the garden, and that’s where I carried on the tradition.

For years we’ve been reusing our coffee grounds as a green way to control ants and now we use them in composting and fertilizing. So glad to get some other ideas on what to use them for!!! Thanks!

does anyone know how the coffee grounds rids you of ant infestation?

I have a terrible ant problem and I’m hoping this will work. I wanted something safe to use with my dogs.

Every morning I use my Scoop coffee maker and put my coffee grounds in my compost box.I don’t even need a filter.

I’ve been using them mixed in the garden fertilizer for the last two years and my garden seems to be much healthier, and produces more
