Barista Tips & TricksBarista Tips and Tricks

Grounds for the ground.

All right, you made your coffee, finished drinking it, cleaned up after.  But what do you do with the used coffee grounds?

Coffee grounds can make an excellent aid to all the gardeners out there.  It’s an all-natural booster for just about any plants and flowers.  This has a lot to do with the fact that earthworms love coffee.  You can see the best results if you have a worm bin to put the coffee in, if not, then a compost pile will work just fine.  I have even had a few customers at the coffee shop tell me that they let the used coffee grounds dry up, and then put them into a broadcast spreader and just spray the coffee grounds out over the lawn.  One person even claimed that it helped keep the neighbor’s dog off of their lawn.  Don’t expect any miracles but you may be pleased with the results.
