Modern Homesteading Off Grid – An American Homestead Off Grid Homesteading – Modern Homesteading
It’s a garden soil additive that is often overlooked as an explosive and helpful soil builder. Coffee grounds! The coffee bean is amazingly nutrient rich and packed full of energy. People the world over drink it daily and believe it or not, throw those used beans away when they are done without thinking about any future potential.
Today, we are going to encourage you to turn one man’s trash into a garden treasure that will bring huge growth potential to your soil. If you are a coffee drinker, don’t even think about throwing those used grounds away. If you don’t drink coffee, give a bucket to all your friends who do drink coffee and ask them to save their grounds.
The end result of your hard earned savings will be a fertile soil that produces reliably every year. Your garden soil will be a metropolis of micro-biology with happy little microbes and mycelium working together to produce healthy veggies for your family.
It’s no secret to experienced gardeners that worms love coffee. It sends them into a sexual overdrive that will surprise you with their reproduction abilities. More worms means more worm poop (castings) and that is one of the best ingredients for fertile soil. People pay a lot of money for worm castings at their local organic gardening centers. But why pay for something that you can make on your own. Simply save your coffee grounds!
Think of your worms inside your garden soil as thousands of tiny gardeners constantly tending the dirt and working it over. Workers like a cup of energy packed coffee. Why would your worms be any different?
