Allotments 4 All

I can't remember where I heard this, but I was told that coffee, both grounds and liquid, is good for acid loving plants. I've even been putting 'used' coffee from my filter machine on my little lemon tree - it's thrived this season.

So I will ask before I do untold damage to my garlic (normal and elephant), am I safe to sprinkle used filter coffee 'dregs' around the planted cloves, they are growing very well now, and I don't want to upset them ! I have about 2 litres saved up in a container in my garden.

If there is any doubt, they will simply go onto my compost heap.

Just to be on the safe side I'm keeping mine for my hostas ;D

Curry you could continue to do the experiment.  Try ONE and report back? Please? :-\

Yes, doing a partial treatment should show the effectiveness of the material. Why didn't I think of that? Please don't answer !

;D
