        Are you sure this is the right thread for your conversation or should I move it to grooming?

            Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

                                There is a coffee shop 3 blocks from my house that saves all of their used grounds and bags them up in 10 lb bags for (free) garden use

                                These guys are a big fan

                                  Very beautiful. Do you consciously influence the soil pH to get those colors, or do you just let it be?

                                    @endo I think i read somewhere about the color/soil ph relationship but my main goal was to perk them up (they started 4-5 years ago as a flower in a small pot from my grandmothers memorial service)

                                    The bold purple color was a bonus from the acidity in the coffee grounds i think
