Default Coffee Grounds in Compost


"Mysterion" wrote in message
hlink.net...
I finally got myself a compost bin to speed up the process rather than my
old method of "till it under and wait".

I've read that coffee grounds make good compost - something about
earthworms
liking it.
My question is "How much is too much?"
The household consumption of coffee is at least a half gallon per day.
This quickly adds up to a lot of grounds.

TIA


We just toss them on the pile by the fence. About once a week they're turned
under with the other non meaty kitchen waste.
