Coffee Grounds for your plants !

              Coffee  grounds can help your garden grow ! People go and buy soil amendments and natural fertilizers in an effort to make a more beautiful garden. If you make your coffee at home don't throw the grounds away. Instead, spread the used coffeee grounds around the base of your roses and shrubs. You will be amazed at the results such as more abundant flowers and vibrant colors. Azaleas and roododendrons especially like the grounds! All of your spring -flowering  shrubs will benefit.

                   When pruning your roses or any of your plants for that matter you should clean your cutting tool with denatured ethyl alcohol before and after use. This prevents the spreading of disease from one plant to another. This is especially important if you have borrowed or lent out your tools. If you rent tools it is a good idea to clean them also.
