It turns out that coffee grounds are the secret to that perfect lawn.

The thing is that it contains nitrogen, which is known to accelerate growth. Of course, there is also caffeine, which has the ability to suppress the growth of weeds.

To enjoy all the benefits of coffee grounds, spread them (100 g per m²) after mowing the lawn.

Important: this miracle remedy can be used no more than once a month. During this time, it turns into biohumus with the help of worms, which loosen the soil.

Spoiled grounds become moldy, so use only fresh coffee.

To neutralize their inherent acidity, mix coffee grounds with ash in a 1:1 ratio.

The grounds can be mixed with tea leaves, which contain tannins that strengthen the roots. Sprinkle the mixture along the edges of the lawn to create a clear boundary.

If yellowing occurs, add 1 tbsp of magnesium sulfate per 1 kg to the grounds. This will return the grass to its emerald color in a week.

A resident of the Moscow region uses coffee from a local coffee shop. Her lawn survived drought and an invasion of moles.

Mix the grounds with crushed eggshells - calcium will strengthen the roots.

Add dry mustard to the mixture - this will repel ants.

However, do not use coffee on lawns with clover. The nitrogen will cause it to grow vigorously, choking out the grass.
