Starbucks Fertilizer
Heya, I'm back for the season now that school's out, and I stumbled across
something interesting my mom picked up the other day so I thought I'd post. If you have a Starbucks nearby, stop in and see if they'll give you their used coffee grounds. Ours is handing out bags full of them free for fertilizing plants, and it seems to be doing a good job. Or, I suppose you could save your own used coffee. According to the label, the brewing process removes most of the acidity so it's got a pH of about 6.9, and the carbon-nitrogen ratio is 20:1. You can add it directly to the garden near nitrogen-loving plants, along with brown materials like leaves. Or, you can add it to your compost and use it within two or three weeks. -- -Jill S. |
