As a coffee lover, I was delighted when I first learned coffee grounds could be used in the garden. There was a while there when "they" were saying that coffee grounds were too acidic to use around plants, but that concern seems to have faded. I used them as mulch around my Hostas all last summer, to know ill effect. Emma Cooper, of The Alternative Kitchen Garden, lists ways to turn your morning coffee grounds into plant food in How To Compost with Coffee.

What about you? What do you do with the coffee left overs?
