Velmer shared with us the rich benefits of used coffee grounds. She scored some major points with this natural resource. Coffee grounds can be used in compost (the filters as well). They can also be used as soil fertilizer. And they can be used as an Organic Remedy for slugs. Our cabbages and Brussels Sprouts have had a time with flies to slugs to snails. We were searching for the correct Organic Remedy to remove these ‘pests’ from our garden as they do not promote plant health and growth. In fact they eat faster than we do! We could barely keep up with how fast nature was moving.
Just when we thought one pest was gone, we discover that we are dealing with a few pests. Some of the pests are in different growth stages. So we had to lay down an Organic Remedy for flies, slugs and snails all at once. The great thing about many of the Organic Remedies (coffee grounds a case in point) that we have been using is that they serve multiple purposes. As the coffee grounds deter the slugs and as they are worked into the soil, they will also fertilize the soil. Typically you would till the coffee grounds into the soil for proper fertilization. Nonetheless, it should have some positive effects.
While our Cabbage & Brussels Sprouts plants may not ever recover, we believe that getting rid of the pests is an overall good idea for the garden. We want to put a big welcome sign out for those insects and animals that do promote the goals of our garden, such as lady bugs, butterflies, bees and birds. What else are used coffee grounds good for? Can you use any of these Organic Remedies around the house? Did you know that vinegar and water can be mixed and used as a Windex? Did you know that eliminating or reducing the use of chemicals in your home can improve your health? Did you know there are organic cleansers for the home on the market? As always you are the best part of what we do. Stay healthy.
