Yes you can use them in an outside garden. They are rather high in acid however so I wouldn’t use them for a potted plant.

It is possible to use any organic,biodegradable byproducts for the use of compost or fertilisers – extremely good for plant life.

I heard that slugs hate them and I hate slugs with avengence…I lugged a whole bin bag back once from Costa’s to put in my boarders but the smell was yukky-didn’t help that I was pregnant at the time….still they say pregnancy can make you do strange things..

My stepmom puts grounds in her flower garden and always has nice flowers right outside her door where she tosses the grounds each morning.

I put them into my compost bin generally but I recently heard that they are good around the base of magnolia – I started putting them there a few months ago and now I have a fantastic display of flowers.

Every day across America, Asia and Europe, millions of pots of coffee and tea are brewed, and the millions of pounds of wet grounds, filters and bags thrown in the trash. This is both wasteful and foolish.
Coffee by-products can be used in the garden and farm as follows:
* Sprinkle used grounds around plants before rain or watering, for a slow-release nitrogen.
* Add to compost piles to increase nitrogen balance. Coffee filters and tea bags break down rapidly during composting.
* Dilute with water for a gentle, fast-acting liquid fertilizer. Use about a half-pound can of wet grounds in a five-gallon bucket of water; let sit outdoors to achieve ambient temperature.
* Mix into soil for houseplants or new vegetable beds.
* Encircle the base of the plant with a coffee and eggshell barrier to repel pests.
* If you are into vermi-posting, feed a little bit to your worms

They have coffee bags – Folgers I think (like tea bags) — hang them in a pitcher and ‘brew’ just like sun tea.

I make individual glasses not pots, but here’s how I do it.
In a large tumbler, fill to 1/3 full of coffee. Add sugar, and creamer to your taste, then fill the rest of the way with ice.
Simple, enjoy!
