    Chamomile tea (make weak) is a great for your young starts and weak plants. I start with tea and move up to coffee. Both tea and coffee are great in the bin.
    Cheer up, the worst is yet to come.

    The nitrogen in the coffee grounds is what adds the energy to the compost pile and ultimately turns your waste into compost. I've been using coffee grounds for years they really work wonders. Coffee grounds are used instead of manure in a lot of cases because people are scared the manure carries pathogens and what not. I just prefer to use coffee grounds, I think they bring great results.

    We drink what some would call alot of coffee here. We also use all the grounds. Most go into the compost bags along with the other kitchen scraps. Some goes directly into the flower and veggie beds. Also been using some lately along with hot peppers, garlic, cinnimon and vinegar to get rid of fire ants.

    Never claimed to be an expert. Just use or do what works for me.
