  • BB loves coffee ground ?

    Noted that BB is an acid lover, can we put some coffee ground on top of potted soil or can we add some limestone for more acid during growing season ?

    Pacifica,

    Limestone is alkaline not acid so they won't like that at all, save the limestone for the figs. BB do like coffee grounds. While coffee is acidic about PH5 most of the acidity is drawn out of the coffee during the brewing process but there is some acid left and the grounds add good tilth to the soil so use it freely.

      Yep. I don't see a downside to using coffee grounds - other than not being able to sleep at night, lol.
