Coffee waste for reforestation

[Mik]

I( can't imagine how they'd scale this, but encouraging if it can be done locally.

Coffee grounds are good fertilizer, so why not?

My landlady in Australia consistently won neighborhood gardening awards—some city-wide ones, too. (Funny thing was, she never entered or anything, she just got the emails about the results.) Couple of contributing factors:

1. She was good at diversifying the garden
2. She maintained it daily, trimming and such
3. She and I drank an absolute shitload of tea and coffee. Everything was always saved for the garden.

One of my old bosses won multiple awards for her rose garden.

I'd pull an expired unit of blood for her once a month, along with a set of Y-tubing.

Karla takes all of our grounds to the composter…

My question is whether it’s better to send the grounds to rain forests or to local farmers growing produce?

BTW, don't forget your egg shells...

Super good for orchids, (at least I think so. LOL)

Anything that needs calcium. That's why you put a couple of Tums under your tomato plants.

Interesting. I did not know that.
