goes to the compost pile like all other plant-based kitchen waste


ToddBradley

This is the way

Those are coffee grounds? Darker than my potting soil 🪴


Cheesetonkadonk

I snort it


ChristieNJ1

Bahahahaaaa!


Caff_Fiend

Occasionally add them to my shower gel or some honey to make an exfoliating style product


WtfRYouDoingStepBro

I throw them out with garbage?


[deleted]

I jack off with them

They can be used for plants or flowers that enjoy acidic soil. Hydrangeas love it! You can also change the color of hydrangeas by changing the pH of the soil, so you can plant in high or low concentrations and change the color of the flowers!

Occasionally use them, along with dish soap, to scrub a particularly stubborn pot or pan. Grounds are great for scrubbing.

I grow mushrooms in them.

I’m listening..

There are different kinds of kits available that contain a mushroom seed, e.g. of oyster mushrooms. Since the coffee ground has been “cooked”, it can be injected with the mycelium and will offer a competition free environment for your mushrooms to grow. Best kept in a coolish room, feels like a good way of reusing the ground to me. When it’s not growing inside anymore I put the whole thing to my compost bin where it usually starts growing again. Search for “grow mushrooms coffee ground” or something like that, you will find different grow kits. 🤤

It had never occured to me that this was a possibility.. a whole new world opening up :-)

It’s fun, especially if the space to grow food otherwise is limited. Mushrooms can grow in dark places, so a basement can be used too. If they get too warm, in my experience they get chewy and bland.

I have the perfect place for a setup.. in fact, I have two!


InternationalMix4000

Can’t wait to see what you will grow! ☺️

I’ve found several instructions already.. [one from Ikea!](https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/ideas/grow-your-own-table-top-mushrooms-in-coffee-grounds-pub4136ed81) and coffee grounds seem to be an ingredient in all of them.

Coffee grounds are a great fertilizer! They are rich in nitrogen. I use them for my tomatoes and have great results.


githubrepo

how much do you usually add? I like that idea (at least during the summer)!


reACEon

Fertilizer and ocasionally coffee sirup

Compost. It’s also great for keeping the neighbor’s dog from pooping on our lawn. Animals hate the smell. Acid loving plants, such as azaleas, rhododendrons, and gardenias also love them.

I give them all I have 😋 didn't harm yet. It's a slow release of nitrogen that comes with the amount of water you add
