Grounds for Coffee

Mao V used to joke about the coffee grounds in Starbucks, saying that they are being brought by people who would re-brew them again. I don't really laugh as hard with that joke because it could be true. But people I know who bring them home said that they use it as fertilizer. It's supposed to be alkaline so it offsets the acidity of the ground, especially in Baguio. One told me he uses it to deter his cats from defecating in his plants. It turned out to be true. Yes, there are 11 ways where coffee grounds are important. Using it to shine your hair and your cat's fur are two reasons. Getting rid of ants is another.
