Nancy, A few used coffee grounds in the tanks of Bromeliads has two benefits: keeps the mosquitoes out, and lightly fertilizes. Good news is, there are only 2 (I believe) species of Florida mosquito specialized for nymphing brom tanks, so they were never that big a risk, but for the price of a cup of coffee, it's worth the protection. Just for the record, I don't put 30lbs of coffee grounds in my broms cups every week, not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that. A small pinch in the tanks will be more than enough, likely for an entire month. I just meant to imply I have a lot of need for every resource I can get
Jan, that sounds like a pretty good deal. Sadly I am without a pickup. I read about a horse stable here in Pinellas that has piles of composted and/or uncomposted manure. For 10 bucks they'll load you up, or for 40-50 bucks (depending on distance) they'll haul out nearly 3 cubic yards to your home. That's the kind of goodness I can invest in!
