In the Garden Not only can you use your used coffee grounds to fertalize your garden (azaleas, hydrangeas, rhododendrons, camellias, roses and other acid-loving plants will love your used coffee) they can also be used in your compost bin as they make excellent "green" matter due to being rich in nitrogen.
