However, I do not know which ones of the plants in my garden are nitrogen loving plants. What if I only have nitrogen Hating plants??!!! Yelp - Help!

Answer 1

Coffee grounds have an N-P-K 2 - 0.3 - 0.2
Coffee grounds are highly acidic, so are best for use in alkaline soils or on acid loving plants. Place them on your rhodies, azaleas, maples, peris, trilliums or camellias.

I bring home two 5 gallon buckets a week so most has to go in the compost but I put a lot directly in the yard mixed with mulch or with compost. It does smell like coffee grounds though.

Coffee grounds are recommended as a home remedy for keeping slugs and snails at bay but a caffeine solution is much more effective. A cup of drip brewed coffee has about 115 milligrams of caffeine enough to kill most small slugs. Just spray it on as an organic slug control.

Answer 2

Nitrogen Loving Plants

Answer 3

There is no such thing as a nitrogen hating plant. All plants use nitrogen as a part of their metabolism. However, the picture is a bit more complex than than. Plants must also have the proper PH and I would suspect that coffee grounds might cause harm to more sensitive plants if you just dump them directly in your garden. The nitrogen also needs to be in a form than can be readily absorbed by the plant. This is what composting of pretty much any organic matter does. It breaks it down so the plants can use the goodies. The thing to watch out for is that the composting process itself can deplete the surrounding soil of nutrients even though the end result is a nice nitrogen rich compost that plants will love.

If I were you I would add the coffee grounds to your compost pile rather than directly to your garden and add in the composted material each time you turn your soil in preparation for the next planting.

All plants need nitrogen to suvive.The Money Tree is very easy to taken care of. Even though it is an wetland sunshine plant. It still live very well with dryness and low light. So it is an ideal for home or office pot plant. No need to watering them too often, just enough to keep the soil moistured. When the leaves grow too big you just trim them off. The new bud will start popping out a few days later. And because of these unique appearance, very meaningful name and low maintenance make Pachira or Money Tree very popular. Either as home decorating plant or as well. Fertilise once a month. NOTE:Brooms can suddenly die with no warning(especially older ones)

Answer 6

Well, basically all plants need nitrogen to survive. I'm not so sure that coffee grounds have nitrogen in them though, I'd have to study on that.

Fertilizer contains NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium)

Answer 7

The short answer is -- all of them.

Almost all plants require nitrogen in the soil, but it can be difficult for some plants to attain -- especially if the soil has a low organic content. As a composter, I mix carbon- and nitrogen-heavy ingredients together for the optimal mixture of nutrients.

Incidentally, coffee grounds are a regular addition to my compost pile and will be mixed into my garden when it's ready. Thanks for the tip about Starbucks, though. I'll ask my local store if they can spare any grounds.

Answer 8

I would say all plants love the nitrogen. So spead the coffee grounds into the soil.
