Coffee grounds and the garden?

Been reading alot on this, thought id ask , who use them and how ? and your results, i throw them in the compost bid for years or just thru the winter save them and throw them on top of the garden spot and till them under

Do you have any concerns with grounds?

Had a 'dragon tongue" plant in my office for a bunch of years, just watered it with cold coffee....grew like gang busters.......Still have it, but had to cut it down a couple of times, as it was getting too big.

That told me that coffee and grounds were good for plants.....BUT like anything , too much of any one thing isn't always the answer.

The pot used to get real sour smelling, so I would take it outside, and soak it in a bucket with clean water till it ran clear......re-pot and start over.

Coffee grounds go in the compost, but there is never enough to cause a problem of too much.

Friend did collect grounds from a coffee shop for a while, and seem to over load his compost bin, same sour smell.......so again, moderation amd mixing is the answer.

sounds about right, i know after while they do help break up the soil ,

You bet. Earthworms like the coffee grounds, too. Always put coffee grounds in your garden in the early morning. If you do it in the evening the plants will never get to sleep and they will drive you crazy wanting in to pee.

rick i think u had to much coffee
:drink:

Put em in the compost bin. Let them season for a while. Good to go.

Just leave them outside........DW has made the house a "worm free zone".

I tried that once. They wound up peeing words in the grass and it all turned brown. They were not nice words either.

Coffee grounds are a notoriously good brown ingredient for compost balance, many serious composters have deals with coffee shops to cart away buckets of them.

i was wondering if anyone did , i bet the have a 5gallon bucket full in notime in most small coffee shops even,

Coffee grounds are exceptional and necessary for blueberry bushes and most berry bushes. They will also turn your hydrangeas colors (blue/pink) from the acid. A couple of cups of grounds spread around each plant in spring will keep blueberries very happy.

Hi CS! I should have added, no need to stir in or dig in the coffee grounds around the plants. They are fine enough that they kinda dissolve into the soil on their own. And since i drink gallons of the stuff, I just keep them in another handled coffee can and wander around spreading them whenever. Ok hope this helps.

I learned today they are also an effective slug killer. They can kill slugs if put in direct contact with them, so coffee grounds on the soil around your cabbages and whatnot.

My Mother threw the coffee grounds out the back door into a flower bed. My father planted tomatoes there (with the flowers that Mother put on the border). The tomatoes would grow up to the eave of the house, about 10 to 12 feet.

Here’s a link to horticultural myths. Scroll down to soil amendments, there’s a little bit about coffee grounds.

nice reading thanks~

Chamomile tea (make weak) is a great for your young starts and weak plants. I start with tea and move up to coffee. Both tea and coffee are great in the bin.

The nitrogen in the coffee grounds is what adds the energy to the compost pile and ultimately turns your waste into compost. I've been using coffee grounds for years they really work wonders. Coffee grounds are used instead of manure in a lot of cases because people are scared the manure carries pathogens and what not. I just prefer to use coffee grounds, I think they bring great results.

We drink what some would call alot of coffee here. We also use all the grounds. Most go into the compost bags along with the other kitchen scraps. Some goes directly into the flower and veggie beds. Also been using some lately along with hot peppers, garlic, cinnimon and vinegar to get rid of fire ants.
