We have a plastic coffee can that gets the organic trash that gets pitched in the garden we pick out the coffee filters later when they dry.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Not specifically for fertilizer, but it always goes in the compost

Seems coffee grounds for fertilizer is the rage right now, probably best use is for compost, but spreading it thin under plants can't hurt.

I always have grounds in my coffee. Grounds just go in the compost.

My dad always gave the blueberry bushes a healthy dose of coffee grounds. Must not have hurt them as he had beautiful bushes...

Some people think that the grounds help lower the pH of the soil . Unfortunately I this doesn't quite work for that. You're basically giving them decaffeinated coffee. Decaf coffee that you buy is normally grounds that were soaked to leach out the caffeine which also pulls the acid out of them. Light roast beans grounds might have more residual acid. Or just toss cheap coffee that you didn't brew on the ground.

Regardless it still helps

Don't drink coffee, but I dump out my Tea Bag leaves for worm food.
