Starbucks coffee grounds

HELLO, it’s me again lol.

Today I went to my neighborhood Starbucks requested by the wife, when I pulled up to the window they had a couple of these bags there. I had saw how they can help with certain things.
I was wondering when should I add it to my top soil or even make a compost tea with it and introduce to my plant.

That’s awesome! I’m still new so not quite sure other than I know you can add it to compost and I think directly to your soil but not 100% sure.

You could search the thread at the top for coffee grounds and see what pops. Might be something there all ready.

Hope thia helps some

Read your comments on this @ that page…I saw where you mentioned Discus fish…Oh man I love Discus…I had them in my aquariums back in the day…I do miss my aquariums…for different reasons I haven’t had one for years now… I grew up with aquariums and fish…* Just sparked a long forgotten but loved passion of mine…

I paid for college in the late 90s breeding discus. The bed in my room was surrounded by a horseshoe of discus tanks. I had 16 breeding pairs at the height of my breeding. I found many pairs would spawn but not raise the babies. My trick was to use my best rearing pair as permanent surrogates. I would give everyone else’s fry to them. This worked awesomely well. It also worked well at parties to invite nice ladies to come see my fishtank. Ha

Interesting side note, I would grow lots of dank in the aquarium cabinets. Short sized sea of green style under power-compact bulbs back then.

:tropical_fish: Thanks the pics bring back memories!!! They are such cool fish…although I had a few get “hole in the head disease”…very depressing…Ive always wanted a tropical tank and a salt water …Of course I heard that SW was hard to maintain…I want to breed Sea Horses ??? or at least raise them…Think it would be fun!!

Coffee grounds are full of nitrogen so use sparingly and those bags get gnats like freaking crazy so watch for those

Interesting. I just got a 10# bag of grounds and I’ll be tossing them into my bag of old FFOF along with some used coco. It’s almost certainly a recipe for failure, but I’ll be growing outdoor whatever feels like growing, so if it works I’ll happily report back. :joy::sunglasses:

I use old coffee grounds for my jalapeño plant. It loves them.

I save my household coffee grounds to compost! Then again I compost everything besides meats, fats, and bones! Also need to take a trip deep into the woods once spring hits to get some good composting materials!
