I have a gardening tip for you today. Want to know how you can repurpose your used coffee grounds for your plants? Then I can tell you! Spent grounds consist of nitrogen and organic matter, which support composting and soil structure; however, they don’t serve as a replacement for fertilizer. Less than 10% should be mixed into compost including outdoor compost piles because applying too much or putting it around plants directly can compress soil, trap moisture, and cause roots to suffocate. For houseplants, the grounds should be composted first or utilized to create a liquid fertilizer. Do not directly apply raw grounds on houseplant soil since this can result in mold development and unfavorable odor. Please note that coffee grounds should only be used as a minor soil amendment and not as independent plant food.
When you are happy, people around you also feel it. So here is a joke to cheer up your day, it’s called “Safe, Secure, and Useless.”
In a storeroom, the workers use a stepladder to reach the top shelf. It’s often left in the way, and after Evan bumped his shin on it yet again, he made a polite request.
“Team, please put the stepladder somewhere safe after using it.”
The next day, Evan noticed the ladder was no longer in sight.
“Where’s the stepladder?”
“Neatly folded and placed where it can’t hurt anyone — on the top shelf.”
?!
