Re: Coffee Grinds
I never thought of the stimulated insect angle, which is definitely plausible.Acid-loving plants do like the caffeine though.
To gather up the slugs, place some cardboard (then dampen it with a hose to flatten it) or large upside down lids on the soil as they love to live under them, then just scoop them up and put them in the compost pile.

Re: Coffee Grinds
I've been sticking them on the cucumber, potatoes and tomatoes. All growing brilliantly this year and flowering etc.Must see if the hydrangea trick works. I was thinking that to get around the green/brown balance would it be quicker to just get some pet feed straw and mix that in? I have been told that straw stops slugs (new work colleague advice I haven't tried)
