Coffee grounds as fertilizer for your garden

Coffee is an excellent fertilizer for the garden, which effectively affects the growth of seedlings. As strange as it may sound, it really is. It should be noted that not all coffee is suitable for fertilizing the land. We recommend using exclusively used coffee beans with an espresso machine.

Useful properties of coffee as fertilizer

The principle of operation of the espresso machine is to process the ground grain under high steam pressure. As a result, it retains all useful trace elements, in addition to those that fall into the epresso.

It's important to note that raw coffee beans can be picked up by fungus. In this case, it is completely impossible to use it, because you can transfer the disease to the soil.

If you get coffee, then it must be dried, and then scattered over the entire area of ​​the land plot. The grain will fall into the soil slits and a reaction will start when water gets in. Approximately 100 grams of ground and dried coffee beans should be scattered over a 1-meter plot of land.

As for the beneficial properties of coffee, they are manifested in the fact that the fertility of the soil will increase, and the plants will not hurt so often. Also, cake can improve the quality of the soil in the garden. Many insects do not tolerate the smell and aroma of grain, so they do not even fly up to plants.

Using

In the article above, we talked exclusively about plants that are already on the land, but other plants can also be enriched with such fertilizer. First of all, it can be used for indoor plants. To do this, it is enough to pour the coffee cake into a flower pot.

It can also be used for seedlings. In this case, it is worth mixing the ground with ground coffee beans in the proportion of 10 grams of coffee per 100 grams of ground. The resulting mixture is suitable for planting seeds in it.
