If they can be spread. I have lots of coffee grounds.

Once the compost is cooked, it will be a great thing to add to your clay soil.

Coffee grounds lawn forum. Again, i turned to the gardening forum, and found a comment that aphids hate coffee grounds and will leave. If the infestation is in the early stages. These two pests love this plant along with collard greens and kale.

With all this amount of grounds, i found two realistic options for recycling the big quantity. Yesterday, on a ride, my hubster and i stopped in to starbucks for a coffee and right there by the door was a barrel with big packs of used coffee grounds marked free!!! Then totally forgot about them since i don't do brewed coffee or starbucks often.

One of the threads mentioned that you need to dry them out before using them. Coffee grounds alone have lead to a clumpy media. I still have lots of grounds.

A gardener posted on the houzz forum an experiment using coffee grounds to start seeds. Although coffee grounds seem to hold moisture well, i have gone back to a mix of peat moss and coffee grounds on about an equal basis. Your need to take action now to minimize damage caused by the termites.

Deerslayer makes some valid points about how impractical it would be to try to fertilize a large lawn with coffee grounds. Most of my research states that coffee is acidic and coffee grounds are neutral and red worms do quite well with coffee grounds. Also good for the slow release of nitrogen.

And nitrogen content is naturally high, perfect for grasses. I sprinkled about 20lbs of coffee grounds 3 weeks ago over a pretty small lawn and no harm so far. I do use coffee grounds as mulch around other plants though.

If too much is put down it can get crusty and prevent air and water from getting to the soil. I *believe* that coffee grounds used alone as fertilizer is a myth, but i'm sure someone will chime in with more detail. Two years ago, my tropical hibiscus were covered in aphids and whiteflies.

The first concerns the mushroom grows, which was a little too complicated for an amateur like me. My neighbors enjoy watching me. The seeds in coffee grounds took longer to germinate and fewer seeds germinated.

Coffee grounds are a good nitrogen source and can be good for the soil if not over done. I have read quite a few threads that suggest using coffee grounds as a good cheap fertilizer. What coffee grounds are indisputably good for is assisting in the breakdown of compost as the grounds are highly acidic.

Currently i use ucg frequently and then make instant coffee to rinse the buckets out and fling that as well. The coffee grounds are fecal pellets are kicked out of the colony by workers. If you have a large lawn, you'd need a lot of grounds to provide enough fertilizer.

I am thinking of topdressing grounds as an organic fertilizer. Used coffee grounds aren’t acidic so it won’t change the ph. Myth #3 coffee grounds stop aphids.

Hi guys, i am new to this, but i'm wondering if anyone knows if there are any spreaders that would effectively broadcast coffee grounds. Here is a link to a thread on the organic lawn care forum where the use of coffee grounds as a lawn fertilizer is discussed. It’s not a nice lawn so i’m fine experimenting with coffee grounds without worrying of them ruining it.

For at least 20 years i've been throwing my coffee grounds in the dirt around rose bushes and hydrangeas. I use them in the garden and in the compost pile, but the lawn seems sub optimal to me. By gm560 » sat may 01, 2021 1:20 pm.

They used potting soil, a 50/50 mix of soil and coffee grounds, and just coffee grounds. I don't think i'd want to put coffee grounds directly on lawns, not because it would not be good for the lawn, but because of the potential of staining shoes of people walking (or clothing) and the potential to transfer stained footprints to the surrounding area. I made three planting media:

I would assume that is so it can be dumped in a lawn spreader (otherwise the grounds wouldn't spread). Quantity of topdressing and proper lawn topdress amount When i first joined this forum, i read about the coffee grounds.

The potting soil and the 50/50 mix performed about the same. Albert_135 has reported good results withusing coffee grounds as a planting medium, so i decided to do a little experiment. Texture of the media has returned to a looser mix, however more liquid is required besides what i use in blending, post #9580530.

The second, slightly more promising, would be to create a mixture of fertilizer composed mainly with coffee grounds. I use them for lawn fertilizer, in compost, for in situ composted beds. It’s already small enough that it doesn’t need sieving.

Seems like a lot of messy dirty work for what will ultimately be a pretty uneven fertilization. It seems that many places will provide used coffee grounds for free.
