Vermicomposting is a great way to get rid of kitchen scraps … all you do is find a wood container put some kitchen scraps in it and add red worms…. for More information on this follow this link

Coffee Grounds are good for your garden!

It has come to my attention that coffee grounds work well in loosening the soil and promoting good plant growth.

Coffee by-products can be used in the garden and farm as follows:

Sprinkle used grounds around plants before rain or watering, for a slow-release nitrogen.
Add to compost piles to increase nitrogen balance. Coffee filters and tea bags break down rapidly during composting.
Dilute with water for a gentle, fast-acting liquid fertilizer. Use about a half-pound can of wet grounds in a five-gallon bucket of water; let sit outdoors to achieve ambient temperature.
Mix into soil for houseplants or new vegetable beds.
Encircle the base of the plant with a coffee and eggshell barrier to repel pests.
If you are into vermi-posting, feed a little bit to your worms
