Do you like coffee?!? Know that you are not the only one!
If you didn’t already know, a lot of your favorite plants LOVE coffee grounds. They’re acidic, rich in nitrogen, and promote healthy, vigorous plant growth.
Yeah…that means every day you throw away a handful of wet coffee grounds into the bin, somebody out there is using them to make their garden more productive and serene. Think about it…
This article will walk you through a long list of plants we all know and love that would significantly benefit from the use of coffee grounds.
Let’s jump right into it, shall we?
17 Plants That (really!) LOVE Coffee Grounds
17 – Tomatoes
Kicking the list off with everyone’s favorite – tomatoes. Coffee grounds provide tomatoes with a boost of nitrogen, which encourages better foliage development and fruiting.
Furthermore, tomatoes prefer slightly acidic soil and coffee is the perfect way to lower the pH of the soil for efficient plant growth and better yields.
16 – Garlic
Another classic vegetable that you probably love – garlic. Adding coffee grounds to soil where garlic is planted can help improve soil fertility and structure.
The slow nitrogen release from the grounds obviously has benefits of its own. It promotes healthier bulb development, which means improved yields.
15 – Onions
Another bulbous vegetable that greatly benefits from coffee grounds is onion. The grounds work to reduce soil compaction, which aids with fuller and more even root development.
If you want, you can use coffee grounds as mulch to support healthier and prevent waterlogging issues.
14 – Cucumbers
For cucumber growth, coffee grounds aid in maintaining good soil structure and retaining moisture. The slow-releasing nitrogen in the coffee helps the plant better develop root systems and support more vigorous fruiting, which directly translates to higher fruit yield.
13 – Basil
