Coffee grounds #779863

Asked January 07, 2022, 1:46 AM EST

I’ve added used coffee grounds to soil. If I don’t get them to the garden in a day or two they grow moldy and I toss them out in the garbage can. Should I be using fresh dry grounds instead?

Balance of coffee grounds in compost #776964

Asked November 01, 2021, 9:43 PM EDT

Hello! I was wondering if one could have too many coffee grounds in a compost pile? I have a three-bin system, and take in SO MANY leaves from my neighbor's yard each autumn (~30 yard bags). This year to help make sure I have a better balance, I'm getting a 5-gallon bucket of coffee grounds from a local coffee shop each week, and am adding it to each bin on a rotating basis so that every third week, each section will get the grounds in addition to my kitchen waste. I was wondering if my overall compost pH will be relatively balanced if I'm mixing the grounds with this huge abundance of leaves or should I dial back on the grounds? Thanks! Roxy Nayar

Spread Coffee Ground on Tall Fescue Lawn #776707

Asked October 29, 2021, 11:55 AM EDT

Hi, I moved into a new developmentv three years ago. The soil type is mostly clay and some sand. The sod the builder put in is mostly fine fescue and blue kentucky. My lawn is very high maintenance. Requires water in summer or sections will die. Requires applications of fertilizer or orange rust or brown patch will shown up. Online, some people swear that spreading coffee ground on lawn is a very good idea. I was thinking of putting coffee ground in a spreader and spreading a light coat. My question will it cause issues like making soil too acidic, attracting bugs&pests, and attract deers?

Asked August 02, 2021, 2:02 PM EDT

This spring I planted all my frruit and vegetables in the house then replanted them out side the weekend after Easter. May of them had a yellowish tint to the edges. Then died in June. I am proficient in gardening in Lane, Oregon. But looks like I have a bunch to learn here in comanche county Oklahoma. Does the extension do free or low cost classes / demonstrations here like they did there?

Coffee grounds in compost? #754279

Asked June 06, 2021, 11:11 AM EDT

Hi, I'm a Master Gardener in Howard County and have learned, practised and advised others that it's fine to compost coffee grounds and use that compost to enhance the soil. I found This article which recommends against that, citing a couple of studies: https://www.discovery.com/science/Coffee-Grounds-in-Your-Garden I'll continue to practice using them but is there an amount that should be avoided. I've heard many folks get them from restaurants etc. Thanks Richard Freas
