Looking to give your hydrangeas a burst of colour and size without the usual banana peels? It’s time to raid your kitchen for something even more effective—coffee grounds! These everyday leftovers work wonders in the garden, acting as a slow-release fertiliser packed with nitrogen that keeps your blooms brighter and bigger. 🌸
Garden enthusiast Sophie Harris swears by coffee grounds for her luscious hydrangeas. Besides adding nutrients, they support hydration and even help with pest control. Just sprinkle them around the base of your plants, about half an inch thick, or mix them directly into the soil or your compost heap.
Here’s a tip: Some local coffee shops and even the National Trust offer free leftover grounds, so you’re saving money and the environment while making your garden bloom! Not all plants benefit from coffee; stick to those that do, like hydrangeas and tomatoes. Avoid using them on herbs such as lavender or rosemary.
