Nice tips and all good but make sure you don’t overdo the epsom salts solution. Sprinkle a bit of baking soda around your tomatoes for a sweeter tomato!

A little mold is just fine, no problem to add it to your garden.

Every time I noticed a little bit I just spooned that part out, but the last time I just mixed it in by stirring it real good. We save our empty ice cream bowls (& lids) for coffee grounds etc. ( I have been saving all of our coffee grounds, egg shells – which I make egg tea with THEN dry & ground the shells into almost dust before using ).
Thank y’all in Advance!

Love hearing that. I have memories of gardening with my grandma too. Garden wisdom for sure.

She had the prettiest yard for miles around. Everything thrived.

If you live in areas that have very acidic soil, you may not want to add coffee grounds. Where I live the soil and water are both very alkaline and the addition of coffee grounds helps with that.
