      And make your soil taste good.

      Used them this year on my strawberry patch. Very effective.

        I’ve heard this. There is a hipster start up in Oslo recycling coffee grounds from the city’s coffee bars and selling it as a range of products including the above. It also works as fertiliser. Especially effective for mushrooms apparently.

            I suspect coffee grounds would make your soil quite acidic so you'd have to add some chalk or whatever to balance out the pH

                          My random announcement is that I retired from the Navy in July, and I'm slowly making my way back to myself after being stuck conforming to Navy life for so long. I'm a civilian now, and it feels fantastic.

                          I'll try to be more active around the forum, as I've missed this place. It's been crazy around here for the last few years, but it looks like things are finally slowing down after nearly constant upheaval. Good to see you all again! What did I miss?  😃

                            @seawolf - good to see back on here!

                            Here is the long and short of it:

                            1. Haraki found the long long weaver of Aespero Cotton, so UHFs have been in high supply the last few years.
                            2. IH have added 4-5 new shirt cuts over the last few seasons including bowling shirts, flat hem CPOs, single pocket button downs and relaunched blanket lined CPOs.
                            3. We now have 2 stretch denim options, one under the Ignition Label (a 19oz non-selvedge) and under the Iron heart label (a 21 oz selvedge SST fabric)
                            4. Iron Heart makes sneakers now, and they are really nice
                            5. The clothes are still over engineered and as bad ass as always 🙂

                              Thanks! Great to be back.

                              The best news is I've recently dropped a bunch of weight and my Iron Heart wardrobe finally fits me again! Anyone want to buy a (nearly new) pair of 634S with a 38" waist?  😃

                                  @goosehd Thanks! 17-1/2. I was medically retired, so I didn't make it to 20.
