gigachad-hd my plants when I give them the coffee grounds as a weekly/monthly fertiliser, perfect for vegetative growth with a pH of 6.5 and plenty of nutrients.

Ooh, I like you. 🤩🤘🏼 I came here to post that precisely this (pulped w/ banana peel & eggshells) is fucking awesome for augmenting most plants' media. 🥰🌈

Pardon this off the rails train of thought.

You're referring to spent coffee grounds, correct?

I find it quite interesting that coffee grounds is meant to be interpreted as alerady brewed coffee, and ground coffee is the unbrewed, ground(ed?) beans.

Not specific to you. This is just how it's talked about. Not a linguist nor a coffee afficianado but this is cool to me.

Yeah, already brewed coffee. Typically I'll use ground coffee for the pre-brewed beans and coffee grounds for the remnants after brewing.
