I read that coffee grind makes a great (and slow-release fertilizer) for acid-loving plants like citrus, tomatoes and alike. Would it work for a herb garden/bed? The one I have contains parsley, chives, green onions, thymes; also separate pots for basil and rosemary. I don't have composter (city-living) so I can't turn the grinds into compost. Thanks ahead
You can compost with coffee grinds, but be careful adding directly to garden soil as it has high nitrogen content and can burn young seedlings or make them "leggy". I prefer to add them to the composter and let them mellow. I know you mentioned you cannot compost, but thats what I have found best. Maybe mix them into the soil you will be planting in 3 to 4 weeks before you do along with some store bought compost and you will be on a good path. Sly33
