How to collect coffee grounds?
When you/your parents make coffee, notice, that in the filter of the coffee machine, there are wet, dark brown objects. Dry them. They’re coffee grounds. One day, perhaps, you’ll get a plant. (not if you have one already…) to keep it healthier, mix soil with coffee grounds. Or maybe you’ll drink coffee. When you’re done, coffee grounds will be probably at the bottom.
We are starting to collect coffee grounds from coffee makers at the school as much as possible.
Do you like it? Apply this trick and your plants / garden will be thankful.
