Summer residents have long been fond of coffee grounds and use the pulp in the garden and when growing seedlings.

But not all cultivated plants are happy with such feeding. It is not so difficult to remember which crops can be fed with coffee residues.

Some people read coffee grounds, while others use them as fertilizer in their garden beds. But this fertilizer is only beneficial for those crops that like acidic soil.

Gardeners say that this supplement contains nitrogen, which is so necessary for most plants, as well as other elements.

But before giving food waste a second life, you need to think about what plants lack and in what quantities. Coffee may not solve this problem.

You can safely feed roses, azaleas, camellias, and other plants that prefer acidic soil with coffee residues.

In addition, it should be remembered that it is not always possible to solve the problem of lack of nutrients in the soil with the help of folk fertilizers.

It would not be amiss to know that some gardeners do not agree that coffee residues can be called fertilizer for the soil.
