Coffee has sooooo many uses, isn't it grand:)<br />
Since the terrorism threat on our planet nitrogen has been banned from sale in local nurseries.<br />
So the used coffee grounds that we usually turf have become very useful as a fertilizer as they release nitrogen into the soil as they do their 'chemical breakdown stuff'.<br />
Dont be gettin any nasty ideas now!!:)

I'd agree that the addition of a little wood or natural charcoal ash is probably good, but wouldn't use briquette ash. Too many strange fillers.

Composting coffee is great. It is high in acid, so if you have a lot add some ash from your BBQ grill (if you use charcoal) to balance the Ph. Coffee in uncomposted form liquid or ground is a very effective natural insecticide. As far as storing the grounds get a bucket, punch some holes in the lid and keep it outside. IF you mix in other compost such as leaves and non animal kitchen waste you will get a more balancced result. YOu can also get composting bins from most municipalitites for about…

I love composting! It's the way to go!<br />
<br />
...ok it depends what you are composting. I baristed at a store in a city where the grinds were usually thrown which made me feel guilty luckly she had two big plants outside the store so I started to take the wet and dry ginds and mix them with the soil. The plant didn't look any better or any worse.
