Coffee lovers can do something very useful for their summer cottages. Instead of pouring coffee grounds into body scrubs or sending them down the drain, save the product for your garden beds. We'll show you how to use this seemingly useless powder.

The second life of ground coffee

The smell of coffee is not tolerated by many insects.

  1. This is the best and safest way to protect your garden from ants. As you know, where these hard workers appear, aphids will definitely appear soon. The coffee you drink can be dried, or you can pour it directly from a cup onto an anthill or in places where insects most often appear.
  2. In addition, it is an excellent fertilizer for plants that prefer to grow in soil with a high level of acidity. These are azaleas, camellias, roses, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and others. You can finely chop the straw, mix it with coffee grounds, and then distribute the mixture over the bushes.
  3. If you mix coffee with orange and lemon peel, you can scare away larger pests. Most often, this scares away pets that want to make a toilet in pots with houseplants or in flower beds.
  4. It is also worth noting that ground coffee improves the structure of the soil. It becomes looser and ventilation improves, which benefits the root system of plants.
