Don’t toss out your coffee grounds. Here are 10 brilliant ways to reuse them in your garden

Coffee grounds have natural antifungal properties that can help to suppress certain fungal diseases in the garden. By incorporating coffee grounds into the soil or using them as a mulch, you can reduce the incidence of fungal infections such as damping-off disease. This natural approach to disease prevention helps to maintain a healthy garden ecosystem.

Coffee grounds can be used to create a nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer for your plants. To make this fertilizer, soak used coffee grounds in water for several days, then strain the liquid into a watering can. This ‘coffee ground tea’ can be used to water your plants, providing them with a gentle nutrient boost. This method is particularly useful for container plants and seedlings.
