Hope this helps!
Not the best idea.
Just scatter your used coffee grounds outside in the garden in different areas each time.
u can just put the grounds on the plants..
Don't think it's a good idea. Only for acid loving outdoor plants :)
Mom always put grounds around her fuschias and camillias with great success! I put them in my composter. Leftover coffee, tea, soda pop, & alcoholic drinks diluted with water 1st are great for houseplants. I always fill beverage containers with water after guests leave and water things. No ant or bee problems in recycle bin later that way!
