Multicolored Plastic Pots

Inside these multicolored plastic pots are seeds planted in a mixture of non soil mix and used coffee grounds. These are being sprayed with water on a daily basis.

Multicolored Plastic Pots

It smells like a cafe in this area and why not, these used coffee grounds can be had FOR FREE from Starbucks.

You can ask for a bag or two from a branch near you when you have time to grab a cup.

    I’ve been wanting to do that. Can I mix it with potting soil too? Which plants can benefit from ground coffee mixture?

    Our coffee grounds end up as compost. A great way to use grounds rather than add them to the trash! Happy weekend

    That’s a really good idea! Never thought of that. Since we don’t use perked coffee, we don’t have coffee grounds.

    I used to use my old teabags in my indoor pots but we got fruit flies.

    That’s awfully nice of them to let us have the grounds. I don’t drink coffee, and wouldn’t mind the mulch.
