Everyone enjoys their latte in the morning, however did you know all those espresso grounds can benefit you more than just a caffeine rush? Coffee grounds can actually speed up & make your composting efforts more efficient. Starbucks does their part for the environment by saving all of their coffee grounds for locals like you.
After picking up your grounds from your local Starbucks for free, there are three different ways you you can use them.
1. Add them directly to your garden's soil as a top layer if you have acid loving plants such as blueberries, hydrangeas, ferns or hollies among others.
2. Speed up your composting by adding the grounds to you compost heap. Grounds act as a "green" so they must be combined with "browns" such as leaves and straw to generate the heat to speed the compost pile. However, grounds should not account for more than 25% of your pile's content.
3. Add directly to your worm compost bin mixed with other organic
waste.
