Without question, the staff promptly opened the tray under their espresso machine and filling a whole paper bag full with the used grounds. Thank you Starbucks for your recycling and waste reduction policy!
So this morning, we gave our entire garden and our compost area a good dose of coffee grounds.
Why coffee?
According to this article:
- Worms love them, so it's useful for attracting and breeding worms, which speeds up the composting process
- It's a good soil conditioner and a good "green" nitrogen source
- Coffee's acidity is removed during the brewing process, so it's essentially neutral
- We should limit the coffee grounds to no more than 25% of the volume of the compost heap
