I have read about using coffee grounds and eggshells for plants, but can I use cooled coffee? I heard someone mention it at a greenhouse, but I don't know how much to use. I usually make 1 TB for 1 cup. Any recommendations? This would be for my vegetable garden and a few outside plants.
Hardiness Zone: 7a

Use it on acid loving plants such as gardenias, azaleas, etc. Also put on vegetable gardens. You can pick up "used" coffee grounds for free at coffee shops such as Starbucks, they give it away by the bagful! good luck.
Rhododendrons and blueberries are also acid loving plants. I just dump the old coffee around the bottom of the plants.
You can use cold coffee on plants but you need to dilute it before pouring around the plant
I take what ever left over coffee and finish filling the pot with water and add directly to plants inside or out. The really thrive on it.
This question goes out to LizCar and her suggestion on "aging paper" with coffee. How do you do it? I hope this reaches you, LizCar, as your idea sounds fascinating.
