Hydreangas love coffee too!

Spring will be here before we know it and while I don't suggest actually saving coffee grounds until then, keep this tip in mind on the weekends come March. Every other Sunday morning, I empty used coffee grounds in my garden around the base of my hydrangeas. This tip came from my dad's cousin who every year has the most spectacular blooms.

And the acidity of the coffee makes the hydrangeas pink, right? What would you put to make them blue? I'd think something like burying crushed eggshells. Thing is I've never had the hydrangeas to experiment on.
