• Use leftover coffee grounds as ingredients to compost. Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, making them a great soil conditioner to your compost pile. Just blend the coffee in with your soil. Make sure the grounds don't make up more than a quarter of the total mixture. Coffee grounds work as natural pesticides and can “perk up” ailing plants. Place the coffee grounds into the soil surrounding your plants. The acidity of the coffee is what keeps a lot of garden pests away.
