☕ Don’t Toss Your Coffee Grounds — Here’s Where to Put Them (and Why)

🌿 1. Natural Fertilizer for Plants

• Use: Sprinkle grounds directly into the soil or mix with compost.

• Best for: Roses, tomatoes, hydrangeas, azaleas, and blueberries.

• Why: Rich in nitrogen; improves soil structure and encourages blooming.

• ✅ Bonus: Attracts earthworms, which aerate your soil.

🦟 2. Insect & Pest Repellent

• Use: Place dry grounds in small bowls near doors/windows, or sprinkle in the garden.

• Repels: Ants, slugs, snails, mosquitoes, and even cats.

• ✅ Tip: Burn a small amount in a heat-safe dish outside to repel mosquitoes (works like incense).
