Uncle's Day gift.
That is very cool.
Is there any useful thing to be done with stale (unused) coffee grounds?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

In Little Women , they used coffee (or was it tea?) to dye a white dress tan.
Sorry, I'm not much help.

Neato! Grace's hair is adorable!
Took brother and fam out to lunch for Father's Day. Then bbq at his friend's with a new wrinkly baby. Cuddly.
Tomorrow, I get the boys and then the next day, off to the parents'. All is good.

put them in soil, I think plants like them.
Thanks ya'll. It meets the requirements as something that will not collect dust and Uncle G can do it when it fits his schedule, and can take friends. also? price was right for a unique once in a lifetime probably gift. I was very proud of myself, and it was dumb luck, not planned.

Coffee grounds can be used as fertilizer to make alkaline soil more acidic, I think.

Composting, aurelia. You can also keep them in a container by the sink to scrub hands with if you cut onions or prep stinky fish -- they neutralize the odors.

Coffee is a high-nitrogen soil amendment, but unbrewed it will be distinctly on the acid side.

Soil and compost aren't really part of my current living arrangements. I guess I could try the freezer thing but I wonder... does it really absorb smells or just supersede them?
