Who knew...

From http://www.visionmagazine.com/:

"Enhance carrot and radish growth—We all have heard that coffee grounds make a great fertilizer in garden soil. And you may also know that your grounds are a great asset to compost piles. What you probably haven’t heard is that coffee can enhance the growth of carrots and radishes in particular. Before you plant, mix your carrot and radish seeds with used coffee grounds. Then plant them all together. Not only will the grounds increase your carrot and radish size and amount, but they will also ward away any underground pests attracted to your veggies. Give this a try and watch your crop flourish! "
