Hey there, fellow gardeners! Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, here. And let's clear up some confusion about coffee grounds in the garden. While they won't magically solve all your plant problems, they can be a helpful addition to your soil-building arsenal. ☕
Coffee grounds act as a top dressing, similar to leaves or pine needles. They help insulate the soil, suppress weeds, and attract beneficial earthworms. Plus, they're slightly acidic, which can help balance the pH of our alkaline Arizona soils.
But don't expect coffee grounds to act like a fertilizer. They don't provide a significant boost of nutrients to your plants. Instead, add them to your compost pile to speed up decomposition or use them as a soil amendment to improve texture and water retention.
So, enjoy your morning coffee, and then share the grounds with your garden!
