Coffee For Your Flowers After your morning coffee, remove the filter and grounds and set them aside to dry. When the grounds are thoroughly dried, scatter them around the garden as an organic plant food. Don't use too much in one area because coffee grounds tend to raise the acidity of the soil. Use the filter to line the bottom of flowerpots to keep the soil from falling through the drainage holes.


Chlorosis If the leaves of your plants are starting to yellow(yellow), but the veins remain green, your plants are probably suffering from chlorosis. This is usually the result of soil that is too alkaline, making it hard for the plant to absorb iron. Adjusting the pH will usually correct the problem. If lowering the pH of the soil doesn't help, have your soil tested for iron.
Tip of the Week:
Watering Container-Grown Plants Containers dry out quickly in hot weather, especially concrete containers in full sun, so check them daily. When you water, give them a thorough soaking. Immerse the container in water every week or two if possible. This will help the water thoroughly penetrate the root ball and force out any air pockets.
