Weird. Use it also with my plants. I see no harm. Carlic, Salat, chillis, all seem to like it. And i have no wild weeds. That is exactly what i want. But ye, don't use it for growing plants from seeds using the coffee remainings
I threw some used filter coffee on to my shaded plants, to stop slugs and snails. Now I realize i've killed the plants, mainly geraniums with coffee. Thanks for the video :)
I inderstood they also attract sciarid fly. I bin my grounds. Ive seen comment sections on you tube with folk enthusiastically advocating composting coffee grounds.

Would the same principle apply to tea bags? I put mine into my compost and they seem to break down nicely
I feel that the grounds I create at home seem to be a benefit to my heavy clay soil garden. Maybe there is an optimum addition rate.
Great video, James. I hope you will be doing many more

This is false. I use a ton of coffee grounds in my compost and all my plants and the weeds I have to pick all the time, thrive in my compost.
You're right. You know more than the botanist
