Can anyone supply any thoughts or experience of using coffee grounds and tea leaves as a mulch or compost please? I have a supply of both but I am worried about any adverse effects.
Toby (gardeners world) was extoling the vitue of adding both to the compost heap. I think it was on last week - catch it on iplayer. He also shows you how to make a compost bin but I didn't have the heart to tell him it won't last long being made from plywood ;D
i put both in the compost :)
On Gardeners World coffee grounds were put around plants as a slug deterrent. They won't go over them evidently.
