Hi all, i am new to gardening and the GYO forum and wonder if someone could help me with a query i have. I have been told that fresh coffee grinds and tea leaves are could in the garden, but can these be used direct into the soil/as a mulch or do they need to go in the compost heap. Many thanks

I do both. They're very good for the compost bin and I even put them in the wormery. I use coffee grinds in the garden too and put directly onto the soil. Ages ago someone told me it helped to deter carrot fly from my carrots and so I tried it and I've never had carrot fly, so I'm either lucky or it works. I'm sure it's supposed to deter cats and dogs too, but don't quote me on that!
