More than two billion cups of coffee are drunk worldwide every day – and that creates a mountain of used coffee grounds.
Luckily, the waste product of our global caffeine addiction can be used in the garden, because coffee grounds can be good for plants. As part of a sustainable garden, the most effective way of using coffee grounds as a plant food and to improve the soil is to add them to the compost where they will break down as part of the overall composting process. Not only can they be used to perk up our plants, they are also a useful weapon in the constant war against garden pests.
