Coffee – Original Energy Drink or the Organic MiricleGro


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/

  1. 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?
