Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 > Hmm. Yep, I admit I drink coffee ... the plants would probably love the grounds. > And the coffee filters might attract slugs or act as mulch (ugly though). > Did you know that coffee may be a good dietary source of DDT? The United States is the world largest manufacturer and exporter of DDT. You can buy bags of it off the shelf in countries like Peru and Colombia. Most of the developing world still uses DDT. Rural coffee growers in the poor coffee growing nations use it extensively. regards, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is lots of stuff that is bad about coffee, if you don't get the organic kind. Actually I was wondering if it would grow in our yard ... -- Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Thanks Bruce. Dr. opines otherwise, but I'll have to give it a more thorough look some other time. Androgen inhibitors are bad news for me!
