 Green Message
April certainly brought the showers!....so if you want May to bring lots of flowers, used coffee grounds headed for the trash can definitely find a better home in your garden (they can be great for the soil!) Just be sure to spread them out carefully to prevent mold from growing. Newspapers - although recyclable - also can act as mulch or a weed deterrent by laying them flat around your plants.
