Coffee grounds

[lynbrown]

I hate chucking out the grounds from the cafetiere after i make my coffee. Anyone know any uses for them?

Do you have a garden lyn ? If so coffee grounds can go straight on the borders in your garden, or in pots, to make instant compost. Also ideal at deterring slugs from your plants and roses are supposed to benefit from it as a top dressing. .

Great answer shaneystar2 - do you know if it works in reverse? ie. will slugs in the sink stop my husband from lobbing his coffee grounds in there and then not rinsing them out? Any tips for a good use of used up husbands would be greatly appreciated.

Make firelogs! Mix enough candle wax into dried coffee grounds to make a dense "log." As a matter of fact, a product called Java Logs is exactly that.

Use them dry in shallow containers to deodorize a refrigerator or any small space.
