You could say that coffee was the original energy drink. Did you know coffee can give your garden the same kind of pick-me-up? I have heard used coffee grounds can be added to compost bins. I had no idea tomato plants enjoy the legume as much as I do.
However you prepare your “cup of joe”; Mr. Coffee, the old-school percolator or my favorite the coffee press, you are going to have a by-product. A messy coffee sludge. I found this post with several solutions that make handling the sludge a tolerable task. Check it out! www.greenplanet.com/great-coffee-great-fertilizer/
A previous co-worker used to keep all of the coffee grounds left over at the office and he would pour the grounds on his compost pile and he swore that was a major part of his success. I haven’t tried this myself but have heard about it from various sources so, why not?
