Popularity of coffee as a type of drink that is liked by many people from various circles can no longer be doubted. This is not only marked by increasing number of coffee shops in every region in remote areas, but processed coffee sold in market is still the target of many people.

My favorite black coffee

Talking about coffee, of course, it cannot be separated from dregs, even though there are now many manufactured coffees that are without dregs. If coffee is known to be rich in benefits because of antioxidant content in it, then same applies to dregs. Although it can no longer be consumed, coffee grounds can still be used as a natural fertilizer to help fertilize soil.

Unfortunately, benefits of coffee grounds for soil fertility are not known to many people. So if you like farming, of course you must make coffee grounds as an alternative to efforts to maintain fertility and growth of your plants.

Benefits of first coffee grounds you can use as liquid fertilizer. This method is very easy, you only need to add half a cup of used coffee grounds into a bucket of one gallon of water. Then let this water soak for a few hours or overnight. Liquid fertilizer from coffee grounds can also be used to nourish leaves. Use spray to watering and feed plant leaves.

You can also use leftover coffee to fertilize plants. However, making liquid fertilizer from steeping used dregs is not same as using leftover coffee to watering plants. Leftover coffee is more acidic and has other compounds in it that are removed from coffee grounds. So, it is better to mix coffee grounds again with water so that acidity of coffee grounds is reduced.

In addition to making liquid fertilizer, coffee grounds can also be sown directly into ground. This is easiest and most practical way. Add coffee grounds directly to soil in garden. You can mix it with soil or sprinkle it on top of soil and let it sit.

In smaller amounts, especially when mixed with dry ingredients, coffee grounds will release nitrogen. Used coffee grounds are actually nearly neutral in pH, so there shouldn't be any concern about their acidity.

Worms love coffee grounds. Just don't add too much , because acidity can irritate worms. Worms can not handle excessive acidity, so add coffee grounds a little but regularly every day, it will be safer. Or you can add coffee grounds to soil containing worms every week or so. One cup or more of powder per week for a small worm container is a good choice.

Well, so after you enjoy your coffee that leaves the dregs, don't throw it away. But, use it as a natural fertilizer to fertilize soil.

The acidity is what worries me that's why I don't add a lot of coffee grounds to my plants.

Very good, I just found out about this, I happen to have a brother who loves to drink coffee. I will ask my brother not to throw it away so I can apply natural fertilizer to my plants. Thank you for the information.

Really? I've heard of it, but I always throw away coffee grounds when washing glasses. Thanks for what you wrote, from now on I will try to use coffee grounds for fertilizer.
