Coffee waste - how much and how to use?
Hello Growroom420.
Since I bought coffee machine I've got a lot of waste. Remember reading it can be used in garden when growing veg or with household plants?
I'd appreciate any output

Re: Coffee waste - how much and how to use?
I'm interested as well - starts moulding super quick in my kitchen, when I fill up a little pot with it, the stuff at the bottom is mouldy so I chucked it out most times. Happy to hear successful uses for what seems to be valuable organic matter!
Bump!

I've been saving mine also. I was going to mix a bit in with my soil. Not sure how much.
P.S. I know worms love the stuff.

The other day when I was high I solved one of the world's greatest problems.
Unfortunately five minutes later I forgot what I was doing.

I dump mine on some newspaper in a cake pan and spread it out a bit. The newspaper absorbs the water and then everything dries quicker.

Yeah it does go mouldy very quickly. Be good if it can be used but if it can't...bin is the answer

Re: Coffee waste - how much and how to use?
I know nothing about using it on the garden apart from slinging it on the compost heap! But I reckon if you got one of them few gallon hoover vac packed bags with a valve on! Sling it in there with a gallon of water and half a dozen mashed apples 
it would make a brew that sets ewe rite off after 2 weeks fermenting

I always chuck it on the compost heap - seems to rot down well
I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing

Re: Coffee waste - how much and how to use?
I incorporate all my grounds into my organics pile that I bury twice a year into the garden trench compost style.
I dont recommend using the waste directly as it can acidify soil REAL quick. So unless your water is basic AF like mine it would be a bad idea to use it in potted plants directly unless u really know what youre doing
