We put our used coffee grinds in the compost and I have heard of using them for hair treatments. Anything else?

We use them around acid-loving plants to keep the slugs away. Once I grew oyster mushrooms on them.

I've heard you can polish silver with them-but I never tried it. I put ours in my worm bin.

They make a great additive to homemade bar soap, for cleansing of greasy hands! Sort of works like the pumice soap (GoJo) but gentler...makes the soap smell great too!

Intersting ideas, thanks.

What kinds of plants are acid-loving?
