I went to starbucks and bought a cup and asked for spent ground. They were so glad that I took over 100 pounds of ground off their hands
The Starbucks that I obtain my grounds from have asked to see pictures of my garden and are very glad to see me. They are even very apologetic when they don't have a lot of grounds!
Same exact experience. I asked the hippy behind the counter if I can have some spent grounds, he asked what I was planting. Aparently, I wasn't the first to ask for this. Either way, about 80 pounds for free, he said call ahead next time, because this time of year at least 5 people a week come for old grounds.
Do they dispose the spent grounds in a separate trash bin from a common trash bin? Do all shops do this???
My local Starbucks gives them out in 5 pound bags!
@@davidbowman271Well, this is something I never thought of! Awesome!
Starbucks has a "grounds for your garden" program so you don't have to spend anything. They have free bags prepacked ready to give away. I think Costa also has something similar.
The benefits of drinking plenty of coffe I don’t need no coffee shop for that 😂 I got this lmao thank you
Barista here🙋🏻♂️, if you ask your local Starbucks, we are more than happy to set aside a cube or more of grounds!!!
This is great to hear....I am starting a little garden in the backyard in pots.. hoping to transfer to a kiddie pool!! Just some green peppers, green onions, tomatoes, and celery...to see how things turn out. Thanks for this ... I'm going to go by Starbucks and see what I can get to grow the best ❤️.
I’m all down for using organic coffee grounds but using starsucks grounds on my garden no thank you. It’s full of pesticides and herbicides, wouldn’t drink that rubbish or put on my garden.
I have been telling this to people for years and years and years, I am so glad someone else finally said it. I've found that spent tea grounds produce a similar result. Coffee grounds are one of the foundations of my compost. I only wish I had found this channel sooner.
Just picked up two truck loads from one coffee shop, overheard the manager talking with customers about how happy she was that we were taking them. Didn't think about buying coffee from there but wife really enjoys drinking their coffee so I say we're even :D
I just started taking part in this free resource. The baristas seem all too happy to help their local gardeners out. It's an all around good thing.
Having been a barista, I appreciate the courtesy you encourage in asking for grounds. Thanks friend
Great video, thank you. Most places are MORE than happy to get rid of the coffee grounds. I have never had someone say no. To all viewers: Coffee grounds REALLY work, and 2). Don't be shy about asking.
I love the smell of coffee grounds in the morning!
My orange tree loves coffee grinds, it produces the sweetest oranges every year. Great video! You can also go to juice bars and ask for their fruit and veggie scraps for composting 👍🏻
Never thought of that. Thanks for the tip.
As a single old man, I don't have a lot of coffee grounds or garden. I dump my grounds in an old cake pan in the oven, along with eggshells and tea bags. These get thoroughly desiccated when I bake. When the pan is full, I crush the shells and run it all through my old Waring blender. My reasoning is that the residual acidity in the grounds on the pulverized eggshells makes the calcium more available. I use this as a component in potting soil (my cacti love it) and top-dressing on my garden plants. BTW, coffee grounds produce fat worms, great for bait.
Produce fat worms
I collect the coffee grounds from the break room where I work. I brought in a 5 gallon bucket and leave it next to the trash can by the coffee pot. That makes it very easy for the people that make the coffee. That's my tip, leave a container and make it easy for them to supply you.
I only stop at Starbucks as they sell huge amounts of coffee each day. I leave them a tip. The girls appreciate the win-win scenario and my garden is being rewarded too.
It can be said that you are "WELL GROUNDED" in the benefits of coffee grounds. Thanks for the tips my friend.
I see what you did there. ☕
Found big bags of grounds marked free at my Starbucks yesterday.
Thanks for the great video, Dan. I call in the morning and have them set aside the days grounds in the afternoon, that way they know I'll be coming and its quick and easy. Also, I made a discovery that BEES LOVE COFFEE GROUNDS. I made that big so you'd see it. I put a pile on a bed in winter here in Colorado and that pile attracted a swarm of bees consistently for 2 weeks or more. They came on the warmer days and reduced the pile's size noticeably. Maybe you can experiment with this and tell us what you find. I also saw they liked certain grounds more than others. Happy gardening!
Zachary Hedstrom Very interesting. I hope you will post more on this if you get new information.
I didn't know that about bees. very interesting.
I don't know if this has already been said but when you are collecting coffee grounds make sure to bring several 5 gallon buckets or watertight bags so that way it makes it easy for the coffee shops to give the grounds to you
Great tips. I used to be able to get bags of grounds like that from a place near my job. They would be happy for me to take them. I need to start that up again. Coffee grounds are heavy! Lol
I get my coffee grounds from a local national chain hotel. I get 25+ pounds a week just from their weekend coffee breakfast service. They are happy to help out. Just provide bins with lids and arrange convenient pickup. One less item going to the landfill.
You can forget the idea that coffee grounds and egg shells repel slugs. I spread them liberally all around my zucchini plant but each morning I would find a slug or too nestled under my plant after a night of feeding. So, I spent several nights in a row hunting and gathering them up to reduce the population and then I sprinkled slug bait, a harmless product, and had no more problems with them.
I get 20 lbs each week from work. I asked the janitor who makes the coffee to save them instead of trashing them.
Coffee ground, eggshells, old fruit u have not get time to eat, mix in a blender and pour around ur plants, Remember to blend the eggshells first to a powder. then add the veggies and then the coffeeground.. you can thank me later..
What a great tip. Are you still doing it?
Salamat☺️
I found this video very helpful 😊
I keep a bucket by kitchen door that is where all our coffee grounds, egg shells (crushed), and banana peels (chopped and dried first) this mixture I every now and then will dump the bucket in the pile of garden soil we have.... I mean it sort of disappears into the mix but I KNOW it is there!
Great tip Dan! I was getting mine from the office I work at. Probably 3 gallons each week! So asking around at the workplace could be another useful source as well. Thanks for the info man!
I saw your video on your backyard transformation-awesome and informative.....and now this one-great! Thanks for sharing what can really help many of us!
Thanks for the tips and help!
Im implementing our green programs at my coffee shop, will suggest this video as a helpful resource!
I love using coffee grounds!🌻
It must be nice to get the grounds with out the filters in them. I compost the filters too. Best wishes Bob.
Thank you for sharing. May you be filled with the abundance of blessings.
Great info. Luv the spread of common sense and courtesy. Giving a tip and doing a small purchase is such an integral part. Thanks for the beneficial parts of grounds. Is there a suggested time spacing between when to use grounds in the soil. Then using more again?
Thank you! The ratios for beds, compost bins, etc help a lot.
Colleen Wnek Agreed. Can you tell me how you determined those ratios please? I use much more with no observable negative effects.
My local starbucks has pre-packaged bags of grounds available in front, free for the taking, no need to ask.
That's a great idea of theirs.
I used coffee grinds on my roses also egg shell. They were absolutely beautiful. Want to used them on our collards but hesitant.
Awesome, awesome, awesome content... wow. I had to play this again. Thank you so much. Please stay safe and be blessed.
Very good advice on making a purchase etc to get ur spent grounds. Many ppl don't think of that. U scratch mine ill scratch urs. Good man.
Wow. Dude is super knowledageble.
Thank You! I Just Subscribed And Looking Forward To Your Next Videos. Perfect Not Too Long And Nice And Calm . Happy New Year To You!
i typically use double what you recommend. Not finding any problems. Even use it as a 2inch mulch. So far so good. But i do feel am at the upper limit.
Has it increased Earth worms ,,if you can tell ?
Montagnard we used coffee shell they are great food for any fruit trees.
Hope all is well. Just noticed I haven't seen any new posts in a while, and wanted to throw some encouragement your way! Your vids are fantastic! Please keep up the great work!
How much should i add to cannabis plants in 7 gallon pots ?
Such a great tips!Thanks for sharing.Have a great day 😃Enjoy!
Great info! I'd like to learn more about black soldier flies. Many thanks for all you do!
Jeanette Waverly I have a batch of black soldier fly larvae in my worm bin. Do they harm the worms?
thanks for sharing.... Nice sharing 🌼🌻🌞
Great tips. Thanks
1:27 Dan, do you have a video on your outdoor worm composting setup? I'm really intrigued by this approach. BTW, I dug the wood chip delivery, as I had over 21 yards dropped on the driveway not long ago. Good workout.
Thanks for the clear concise information. Nice to find information I can really use without a lot of babble.
I loathe babble.
Thanks for the Great Tips ! Green Blessings
what a timely video with useful information. I have been getting coffee grounds for about a month now and using them around the fruit trees like you showed, around the veggie garden, and a heavy sprinkling in the woodchip pile. How often would you recommend using the grounds around your plants and trees? Once a week, once a month, couple times a year? I know too much of one ingredient is not always best even though it is free and available in abundance. Thank you for taking the time to share.
I love the Red Green reference. Awesome
End of the day on a busy day :)
Amazing Video
New Sub! +"Organics Best" Urban Gardener mentioned you as one of his favorites. Had to come check you out. Good stuff! I try to use organic coffee grounds. But if it's good coffee (like from a coffee house) I'd probably use it too. It's so hard these days trying to stay away from all the chemicals. Thanks for great vids. Happy Gardening AND Eating!
Can you top dress soil around the plants directly?
Thank you, John C. Reilly 🪴 ☕️🙌🏼☀️ 🌺
I planted coffee ground on my grape tree with water sardines
very cool! I would be interested in more information on your composting worm setup!
i have a container garden. can i dump a small amount of grounds on top of the soil and let it seep into the soil gradually (when it rains and such)? if so, please tell me how much to use. I'm thinking the contents remaining after making one pot of coffee at home. thank you!
Thanks you helped me out I.
Cool! Great idea
Great video. I have been saving coffee grounds for two months. If it's molded can I still use them for my yard?
Yes, you can use them. It’s even better as it has begun to decompose. The mold is immediate food for the worms.
Nice video and love advice on getting grounds
My church gives me their coffee grounds after the last service on Sunday.
Thanks for ur videos bro
This is great
Heard coffee grounds are good for growing carrots
How did your plants grow during the next growing season? Did you notice any difference with the coffee? Was it too much or not enough or just right?
Very useful, thank you.
Can i just put coffee ground on the soil around my tree without mixing with compost?
yes, i throw used coffee grounds around all my outdoor plants/bushes... i also throw wood ash out in my corner garden that has bee friendly plants and it's very successful as well. I ususally try to throw my remedies out before it rains, also
I need advise on how to prepare soil for next spring from what I have on hand,
Coffee grounds
Potting soil
Cow manure+saw dust
Tofu residue
Regular soil
Thank you
Ted
Can I use the coffee grounds in the k pods?
Thank you
Great video. Thank you
Very informative, a great video. Thank you
Thank You
Also, most people who has a job, does have a coffee machine and big chance ur coworkers make plenty of coffee each day.
Just a tip guys ;)
If u can't get coffee grounds can I just bye the coffee and use it
do they haveto be spent? can i just buy ground coffee and add it?
I am inclined to use coffee grounds on my crops. They have high nitrogen and that's what I'm looking for. every info I get says that it is slow releasing meaning the nitrogen content won't be available to the plant until it starts to decomp. Nobody is able to tell me how long that process takes. Adding nitrogen late to my crop will do more harm than good. that is why I'm reluctant. it would be helpful if somebody can provide me such info
Really helpful. Thanks.
Given that it is winter now for us, and we are still drinking coffee, would you just spread the used coffee grounds on the frozen beds?
Local Burger King is where I get mine. Not a ton at a time but consistently daily.
love your video .. Greetings from Australia!!
Ross Chamings good day mate
Great video enjoyable to watch 👍
Good information!
I tend to dry out my coffee grounds after I fix coffee and store them in an air tight storage container outside, to help prevent mold from developing. Is the former bit, drying them out, an issue prior to mixing them into the soil?
Thanks for the info!
What ratio would you use in repotting houseplants? I know that gardenias love coffee grounds due to the acid they create. Do you think 10% mixed in potting soil?
If spent coffee grounds are neutral ph I shouldn’t use on blueberry plants as it will make the soil less acidic ?
I heard coffee is not good for mango tree. Mango does not like nitrogen. Thanks for sharing.
Great tips. I am fortunate enough to get all the coffee grounds from a busy, locally owned restaurant that uses organically grown coffee, known as Good Bean, from Jacksonville, Or. I only have an urban back yard garden. What are any disadvantages of “over use”? Thanks.
TY ❤ what about used coffee
I’m subscribed!
Thanks! I just got a bag just as you suggested. She was glad to give a customer something for the garden. Now I am just asking but all of you people who use them, do you actually see the difference in practice? Should I expect to see a big difference or is this just 'good practice'? I guess that is an impossible question so please, only reply if you are omnipotent :)
Cambria399 i only started about two weeks ago and I've already noticed absolute gobs of pillbugs (rolly polly) digging thru the coffee grounds, the worms are waiting for them to finish so they can get their leftovers. So its already helping aeration!
They REALLY REALLY do make a positive impact, it will be well worth your while to use coffee grounds (and egg shells if available).
my blackberry tree produced sweeter berries after i put it on the soil
Is the coffee grinds still good if they sat in the heat, covered, and have grown mold in a spot or two?
still ok to use
All good in there
So how much can I apply on planted trees or plants? Mostly my potted fig tree
Can I use unbrewed coffee beans? There are some beans here that are over a year old that I don't want to consume.
Hey Dan, I noticed in your compost pile there was what looked like a lot of Bermuda grass. If it was have you had problems with it coming up in the compost you used on your garden through seeds or rhizomes?
