    Coffee in soil?

    I've noticed that many people use coffee grinds on some of their more acid loving plants. Has anyone tried this with success on their cp's? I roast coffee all day long and have a plethora of beans. However, I think that the grounds might harbor mold. A secondary product of the roasting process...

    Reading Materiala

    My wife, who has natural aesthetic tastes, while I have none, wants us to have magazineson our coffee table (A/k/A the game table). So she placed a Vermont Country something or other and Lands End. They were there for a couple weeks and I just last night replaced them with Savage Garden & CP's...

    How do you pronounce....?

    Not to be confused with the topic from a year and a half ago, about pronouncing leucophylla or gemmae or...., this is geared toward how we pronounce English words, based upon our respective accents. I am having an online discussion on how to pronounce the name Analisa and I brought up that I...

    Cpsoil acidity: is it really that important

    I'm wondering about CP soil acidity, and whether or not it helps them grow or not. Does it just happen to be coincidence that the soil they are in is acidic? Is it important to the plants growth/health that the acidity is a certain pH? Would it harm the plants if the soil was too acidic? Or...

    The coffee project

    I have raised this new idea about adding coffee to increase acidity and to boost start growth in CPs. i have had growing sucess with coffee growing other such things and i find it to help at least decently in the growth of the plant. I always had to dilute the coffee in water because it was too...

    A promising way to grow nephs

    The problem of growing Nephs is that mold takes over before you can grow anything. if it need to be high and acidic can't you use coffee? A mixture of Coir, Verm, Peat and perlite hydrated in diluted coffed and water. Coffee is high and acidic. and to take care of the problem of mold. put it in...

    What is the purpose of rinsing peat?

    Hello everyone. I know most folks alreay know I'm new to CPs and read that peat needs to be rinsed, but I haven't been doing it just letting the watering do it. I just want to know what is the purpose besides getting the coffee water out of it. LOL I haven't figured out a clean and easy way of...

    Semi-natural feeding

    I have been using freeze-dried bloodworms, expensive stuff, sold as food for tropical fish. I had been powdering it and sprinkling it on my CP. I recently invested in a free supply of very similar material. I purchased an electric bug killer. It uses a blue fluorescent light and a high-voltage...

    Anybody drink coffee?

    I'm not really a coffee drinker, at least as far as requiring caffeine to jumpstart my day. My system either doesn't recognize it or laughs at it. However, I DO require lots of creamer, preferably Irish Cream or amaretto of some vanilla thing. I am also a latte person, as opposed to an espresso...
