I will definitely try using my leftovers to deodorize my wheelie bins. With summer right around the corner, hot days make my bin very smelly!

Coffee does amazing things for tomatoes and also protects my garden from slugs, those things are the worst!
How much coffee grounds do you use for slugs and where do you put it? I guess you can't sprinkle the whole garden with them.

Growing up we lived in a place that was near a stray cat colony. We tried putting coffee grounds in the yard to keep the cats from pooping everywhere. Don’t remember if it helped

#4 I usually throw my grounds around the plants about three times a week, if I don't put them in the garden I store them in a zip lock bag with egg shells and create a tea at the end of the week to water my blueberries and tomatoes. Basically anything acidic the coffee helps.
Yes, coffee grounds are great as a type of cat repellent for your yard. That is because cats don't like the way coffee grounds feels on their feet.
Happy creating!
