Ask Your Cafe For Used Coffee Grounds
Many cafes will give out quantities of used coffee grounds for your garden for free! Our local Borders does this and it is wonderful for the garden, esp. acid loving plants like azalea, lilac, hydrangea, etc. :) All you have to do is ask!

Beverages for the Christmas Cactus
I started giving the cactus a cup of coffee once a week and it has just exploded! It blooms twice a year and has grown by leaps and bounds. Try coffee!

I am looking for some examples of artificial fertilizers. There are hundred-far too many to list. Here is the basic difference between synthetic and organic fertilizers. Keep in mind that both types contain chemicals (whether naturally derived or not) and both can be harmful to the environment (and your plants) if used improperly.

Don't know what to do with those ashes? This is a tip for those who have ash from a wood burner or fireplace. Place it in your garden or flower beds over winter, not all in the same place, just here and there.

Bury Used Tea Bags In Garden
I knew that used tea leaves could be used to enrich garden soil. It finally occurred to me that I did NOT have to tear open all the TEA BAGS but just bury them in the garden as is and they will decompose!

Use Hard Boiled Egg Water For Houseplants
Cheap and easy feed for houseplants. When you boil eggs - save the water. Sieve out any pieces of egg that may have busted out during boiling. This water, when completely cooled, contains lots of minerals from the egg shell and makes a good feed for houseplants and can be used as often as you water.
