Q: Worms and Coffee Grounds

We drink a lot of coffee and I would hate for the little critters to get hyper and stampede. So, can I just toss in the grounds from my coffee pot each day? Roy - Carpe Noctem Kind of depends on how much coffee you drink and how large your worm bin is. I wouldn't add coffee grounds that made up more than 5% of the material added daily. My estimate, not based on any scientific observation. Since we just giving opinions without a basis, I'll say don't use more than 100% coffee grounds. I also think worms like Indonesian coffee grounds more than Latin American coffee grounds. Or you could just try giving them your coffee grounds; the worms will let you know how well you like it. -- Compostman Washington, DC USDA Zone 7 |
