💨 Abstract

A former royal gardener, Jack Stooks, shared tips for boosting summer flowers using coffee grounds, which can be composted or added directly to garden beds. While beneficial for acidic-loving plants like rhododendrons, coffee grounds should be avoided for plants that prefer non-acidic soil. Additionally, coffee grounds can deter squirrels but may become messy when wet. As an alternative, using Slinky on bird feeder poles prevents squirrels from climbing.
