Re: coffee grounds

Ah so. Guess I'll chalk this up to another re-cycle hustle. Wonder if it will mean that the availability of free-be used grounds from Starbucks will diminish. Too bad if it does. Guess I need to go to my local coffee house and ask what they do with used grounds. I spread all we generate at home on, in rotation, gardenia, miracle fruit, phalsa, grumichama, and rose apple. Poor hibiscus get none but could surely benefit if they did.

That seems to me to be totally weird. But I wonder about the fragrance,
too--otherwise, why bother since they make a great soil amendment for
any acid-loving plant. Would seem to me more money could be made by
composting them down than by compressing them into "logs."

Interesting question about the ashes. All of our foreparents extracted
lye from wood ashes to make soap; would be very interesting to learn
the pH of coffee ashes.

We talked before about ways to use coffee grounds. In today's newspaper
coupons there was a coupon for a Java Log. They make logs from recycled
spent coffee grounds for your fireplace. Hmmm...wonder what value the
ashes have? Wonder if the fragrance is 100% Columbian when it is
burning.
