@SpaceMarine I get bags of free used coffee grounds from Starbucks. They are rich in nutrients and their acidity has been brewed out of it. Its almost neutral pH.  I use lots around mine. They love it, but bugs hate the smell. Great soil top ammendment. 

 just dont use new coffee as its too acidic for most soil types here.

@peteypyro how do you aquire said coffee grinds?

@SpaceMarine Maybe a big 50 gallon planter on wheels? It would LOVE the sunshine, and could be wheeled inside in case of frost, or in case of nosy neighbors. 

I really don't think that people recognize Kratom trees, yet. It should be safe from theft if in a heavy planter. It's just a pretty plant, right? 

 or pretty ugly Bush .... or big bushy tree in training..

Just ask KratomwatchDog Sandy...Spoiled Sandy dog.

@guywithtrees

Step one)  enter Starbucks. 

Step two) look in hugh hugh flower pot labeled 'Grounds for the Garden'. Help yourself 

Step three) if nothing is in hugh, hugh flower pot,  then ask cashier for them

Step four) buy a coffee or leave a tip.  The grounds are free !😜

@guywithtrees.   Free is good 😳

sometimes....they only have the 55 gallon bags full. No tiny 10 pounders. Once I got 60~80 pounds, after a busy weekend

@peteypyro yes but that is perfect. Heck I'd ride around town for free coffee grounds.

 Dunkin used to give them away too, but stopped, saying that people tried to brew weak coffee with it. Liability fears.😥

@peteypyro I went to Starbucks. One place gave it to me no problem. The other told me they don't offer it at this time due to covid safety from corporate.....

that is one thing that I've neglected to do is put coffee grounds on my plants. Can you give them too much?
