Dear Jan and John,
Here's a URL to look at that seems to have a lot to say about it...
http://www.invisiblegardener.com/news5.htm
They had an interesting viewpoint about Organic Coffee.... seems as if a lot
of chemicals may possibly be sprayed on coffee plants and end up being taken
into the beans. I wonder if there is a cumulative effect to consuming that
stuff.
The above URL even talks about using Coffee as a foliar spray, hot coffee to
kill insects, and grinds to benefit many plants including tomatoes. It
seems there is some sort of mineral bennefit, but I don't know which
minerals. It can even be used to damage fungi on plant surfaces when it is
sprayed on hot.
Best Regards,
Thomas Giannou
