Grounds for your Ground
Next time you stop in for a cup of coffee, get something for your garden too. Starbucks stores nationwide are offering complimentary spent coffee grounds to add to your compost pile. Coffee grounds boost the nitrogen and sulfur content of your compost. Stop in at your local Starbucks (just before closing time is usually best) and ask for the spent grounds. You'll get a reused coffee bag full of spent grounds labeled with a special compost sticker. The grounds are in high demand during spring so you may want to call ahead to reserve a bag.
Don't Throw 'Em Away!
Easter might be over, but those holiday plants aren't finished! Put those Easter Lilies, Hyacinths and Tulips out in your garden when the ground warms up! I have rescued countless "Easter Plants" from the trash...I just hate to see a beautiful plant go to waste! Now, please understand that they will not bloom at Easter in your Michigan garden next year, but will look and smell lovely in late June early July! Just think, you were going to put them in the garbage!
