I realize that these posts were added a few months ago, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents...According to what I've read, tomatoes actually prefer a slightly acidic soil. I've also read posts by people who swear by adding coffee grounds to their tomatoes, they say the tomatoes thrive. Perhaps the issues involved are 1. how acidic the soil is to begin with and 2. how the coffee was prepared. Ex: Cold press/toddy coffee vs french press. From what I know about the coffee made by these two methods, it would make sense to me that the cold press coffee grounds would contain more acid than the french press as the coffee itself has less. Just something to consider...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682636074619723378.post-31838288467166940462008-04-04T10:53:00.000-04:002008-04-04T10:53:00.000-04:00Hi Robin--good point about the pets, although as m...Hi Robin--good point about the pets, although as much as I love our Cat Moe, he can not be described as well behaved, but I do love his mischievous ways:)Susan & Scott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222665543202769785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682636074619723378.post-66771352846606239312008-04-04T10:33:00.000-04:002008-04-04T10:33:00.000-04:00Susan I love this post.

I always just tossed the bags in the trash, not anymore.<BR/><BR/><BR/>By the way, My dogs got some coffee grinds from the trash a few days ago (long story as to how and why) they didn't eat them, thankfully but it did make a mess on my floor. Beware of coffee and pets, but I'm sure most famly pets are much more behaved than mine!<BR/><BR/>RobinRobin Planhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866309291405870334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682636074619723378.post-38448629823656300952008-04-03T23:50:00.000-04:002008-04-03T23:50:00.000-04:00Could have fooled me, you sound so official...Have...Could have fooled me, you sound so official...<BR/><BR/>Have to tell you I was at you site last nite and after reading Nip Clutter in the Bud, I moved from paralysis to semi-mobile and was able to clean up around the desk in my office.

I just know that my tomatoes always looked awful after I dumped the grounds on them. I do recall something about tomatoes liking baking soda, which might indicate they like a less acidic soil? Coffee is pretty acidic. So, I'd say check for soil guidelines and don't put coffee on anything that likes less acidity.
