    ive seen these given away free in coffee shops as free food for plants and online says there good source of plant food, just wondering if any one else has ever used these and did you get good results

    oh right so he moxes it with the water and strains it as aposed from putting a small amount with the soil?

    not that it would be horrible for a plant that is vegging, but ive seen it mixed in soil before and it became very hard and it wasnt easy to water

    the used coffee grounds become to a ph balance of about 7 and its rich in nitrogen, this guy at my old work used to come in everyday for them cause he mixes it in his garden and he has like award winning berry's lol, but I tried it on my sunflowers and water melons and they went nuts, haven't tried it yet cause I do hydro but if I do soil, I for sure will use it, look it up, its good for them
