Grounds on the Ground

In our composting series, we talked at great lengths about ways to turn trash (old food) into treasure (fresh compost). Maybe you’re not quite ready to have a heap of food decomposing in your backyard. If that’s the case, try the very small step of dumping used coffee grounds near your plants. These grounds can be a great addition to any garden or potted plants, as they will bring much-needed nitrogen to your plants. What’s more, it’s one more way to creatively use something that was previously only fit for the landfill. Sounds like a weekend project to me!
