Grounds

Are you wondering what to do with your leftover coffee grounds? Rather than throwing them away, try reusing them in one of these innovative ways:

• Dilute the grounds to make plant food. Just mix one part grounds with four parts cool water, and water your plants once every other week.
• Touch up furniture and other wood scratches with grounds and a cotton swab.
• Throw coffee grounds on ashes before cleaning out the fireplace to reduce the spread of dust.
• Use coffee grounds to dye clothing or paper.
