TIL my neighbor's 'help' with my tomato plants nearly killed them
He decided to 'feed' them with leftover coffee grounds, thinking it was a natural fertilizer, but the acidity shock made all the leaves curl up. I had to flush the soil with a ton of water and move them into the shade for a week to recover. Has anyone else had a well-meaning plant rescue go totally wrong?

Your neighbor just gave those tomatoes their first double espresso. Good intentions are the fast track to plant murder, honestly. At least you didn't find him pouring out old motor oil for "vitamins.

Remember when my aunt tried to water her ferns with leftover coffee?
