Experienced Vegetable Gardeners of Doomworld I Need a Question Answered

[Dubbag]

Anyone else on here with large experience of growing vegetable gardens? I have been planting vegetables ever year during the summer for a decade and have always wanted to know the best compost fertilizers that will benefit my plants and give them better growth. I recently read about "Coffee Water". You take a small amount of coffee and dilute it so it's not so acidic and then pour the water in your pots and it supposedly is a good source of nitrogen for them. Right now I'm growing Green beans and did this and was wondering if you have ever heard the same. I have a very steady healthy growth going on right now and feel like I could have just ruined everything.

You see

I got the idea from this

But then I see this

So which one is it?

My neighbors just put in a lot of work. I watched as they dug up part of their land and built rocks around this garden and planted things and they're so happy but then I realized I'm lazy

There's something oddly satisfying about it.

I grow tomatoes and usually yellow beans too. I've grown other veggies too but I like the tomatoes the best and yellow beans are delicious. I do use coffee grounds but I put them in my composter along with all my vegetable waste and layer in some grass cuttings, brown yard waste (leaves and such) and let it do it's thing over the year until the spring. I mix the broken down compost with sheep manure and other soil.... blah blah blah it works nicely.

 

I have never used this coffee water thing. I'll have to read up on this. Hmmm.
