I dropped in at my local Starbucks and asked for any spent coffee grounds and they were happy to give me a big bin bag half full.

So far i have used it when replacing a potato plant with a Butternut Squash to "up" the nitrogen again as it is a great slow release fertilizer.

I have also put a handful in the watering pot next to some of my squashes and the smell is so much better than manure when I'm watering. Folks think I am brewing up with some fresh coffee - well maybe, but only for my squashes!

What an interesting idea.... not heard of that one before. I just tend to drink the stuff rather than spread the grounds.

Thanks DD. But not at 3pm I'm afraid - I've been banned from this forum at work. Apparently I'm dreaming of my allotment too much. Later then.
