They make great body scrub and facial scrub- not only they make your skin soft because they exfoliate your skin, they also tighten your skin and improve circulation, because of the caffeine. Make sure to rinse thoroughly.
They are also good for potted plants.

Composting is a great idea. However, I would advise against putting them in a candle, since any moisture from the grounds can cause the handle to crackle and hiss. Also, the grounds can catch fire and then smolder, smoke or snap.

in my opinion, if I had area i might initiate a small compost pile. bypass to a community around the place you reside the place there is not any window and dig a hollow some foot deep. Layer interior of that hollow the coffee grounds, eggshells, banana peels, the different skins of end result or greens, and a few shredded paper alongside with a number of the soil you dug as much as make the hollow. everytime you upload to this pile, be advantageous which you bury what you upload. a minimum of as quickly as a week whilst this is heat you would be wanting to "stir" the pot. merely take a spade and turn over distinctive spots in the area to demonstrate soil to the exterior. the income of this is you are able to have the richest soil for brand spanking new vegetation which you deliver domicile and desire to repot, as nicely as recyling the waste. this blend is extremely sturdy to apply in the autumn mixed with mulch to winterize vegetation, and in the spring to start outdoors vegetation. in the wintry climate time this is generally performed in a trash can with a sealable lid. you in elementary terms roll the can as quickly as a week rather of utilising the spade to blend.

they can be used to exfoliate the skin on your body. Put them in a pouch made from old pantyhose along with some rolled oats. rub over skin ,either in a bath or shower. perfect before waxing . do not recommend for face.
