Why Use Coffee Grounds As Fertilizer?
Coffee grounds are a great source of nitrogen. They also provide a decent amount of potassium and calcium, as well as a few other minerals! The nitrogen won't be immediately available, but the potassium, calcium and other minerals will be! Also, used coffee grounds are not acidic, as most of their acidity has been washed away during the process of making your cup of coffee! In fact, they are very near a 6.5-6.8 PH level! When you consider the fact that they offer an NPK of 2.1-0.3-0.3 to the soil, they are a very solid "free" resource for most people. If you are not a coffee drinker, you can ask your local coffee shop for their daily coffee grounds to add to your garden, compost bin, or as a mulch. Thanks for watching!

I usually add them to the red mulch on my citrus and avocado tree, and they really helped out. Gotta be careful too, because weeds will almost grow over night with all that extra nitrogen. Just subscribed, glad to see a fellow Houstonian making YouTube vids.

Finally getting some nitrogen to that poor bed by the house. I bet it breathed a sigh of relief. We tried G90 corn one year and it was such good sweet corn. We just haven't been growing any corn for the last few years because our garden has become way too shaded. One of our chores next pruning season will be to trim trees. God bless you and yours and have a great Independence Day.
