I usually put my coffee grounds in with the rest of my compost, but when kittens are around (we have a number of them at times) I make sure there's a nice layer covering the soil to keep them out of the plants when I had grass to worry about, I spread the old coffee grounds all over the grass area, starting at one corner & working my way a bit each time when I had grounds to use - this rejuvenated my grass wonderfully - I went from sparse grass to thick, luxurious grass over the course of several months - I've used old tea leaves [is a similar manner] in my garden and my peppers & tomatoes are quite heathy Sharen Rund Bloechl Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems Sunnyvale Data Center sharen.rund.bloechl@lmco.com Phone: 408-756-5432 [or] Fax: 408-756-0912 srund@svl.ems.lmco.com LMnet: 8-326-5432 Pager: 408-539-5146 web: http://webpager.lmms.lmco.com/perl/mtrocall.cgi [or] Operator Assist: 1-800-725-5079, pin 408-539-5146 > ---------- > From: Tantrika[SMTP:hummer13@earthlink.net] > Reply To: Tantrika > Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 1999 9:37 AM > To: Chile-Heads@globalgarden.com > Subject: Re: [CH] Luke on Coffee Grounds... > > how often does one fertilize peppers with coffee grounds? > >
