If you are into having a cuppa when gardening, and in to either fresh tea with tea bags, or filtre coffee, why not use the old tea bags and coffee grounds on your soil ? A courteous visit to your local Starbucks , Cafe Nero or whatever, will have you coming away with bags of free used coffee grounds and tea bags to use as a great addition to your beds, and it ends up as a great win win situation. Free nitrogen, soil conditioner and all the fun of the fair !

Coffee grounds on the top of soil is also a good cat deterrent
I know ! besides, cats HATE coffee OR TEA, Tha's why they like milk.
And I have to admit, I don't mind the smell in the garden - so much better than poo
And, for a bit of exercise, you can always go for a walk around the grounds !
With the change in the weather this past few days, I think cocoa, Bovril, hot choccy laced with rum is more to the challenge than simple tea ! Cheers !
What time are you coming around with the tea trolley/cocktail bar tomorrow morning?

Do you just ask for some spent coffee grounds in the shop?
