What to do with used Coffee grounds

• If you keep a box of soil that you use for repottting plants and adding soil to your gardens, add your coffee grounds filter and all. For every time you add coffee grounds to your box of soil be sure to add one cup of powdered lime to balance the acid. This is a secret recipe for adding nutrients to the soil that will help you plants thrive.
  
  
• Coffee grounds are great for gardens. I've been using them in mine for years. I recently heard that if you would like large amounts of grinds (ie, if you have a large garden), you can ask your local Starbucks for grinds and they will be happy to provide them to you. Apparently, this "giving away of grinds" is part of a green earth campaign Starbucks is promoting. Works for me!
  
  
• Tea is also good for plants, especially ferns. Put the used leaves or the contents of a tea bag into the compost or soil and see the difference.
  
  
• You can also use coffee grounds to keep cellulite at bay.

• Used coffee gounds are good to put on ant hills also. But being the little critters that ants are....they just move to another location. I do save all my used coffee ground and put them in my compost pile/into my garden.
  
  
• Use them to clean ashtrays and anything else that is really greasy. They're abrasive but gentle enough to use on any stain resistant surface, and smell good too.
