Re: Starbucks for coffee grounds!

All of the local Starbucks have changed to drive-through only service due to the increase in Covid cases. So, grounds are no longer being made available. I hate to think of them going to the landfill, but we don't have a choice right now. Shocked

At this time, Starbucks are open for business here. Tomorrow could be different. Razz

Stopped by a Starbucks yesterday on the way home from the mall and picked up some grounds. They had two large bags of grounds, each weighing about 40# or so, and a "bucket" full of bags of grounds that were used to make iced coffee. Since all of the raised beds have been put to bed for the winter, I pulled back the straw on three of them and spread the grounds over them and returned the straw. All of the filters were thrown into the compost bin.

Picked up 40# of coffee grounds from Starbucks. Separated out the coffee filters and crushed the "pucks" from the expresso machine, and then spread a layer of them on the raised bed in the greenhouse. Used about half of the grounds on the 2'x6' bed. I've only seen about half-dozen earthworms in this bed, but I'm sure they'll enjoy the coffee grounds as much as the plants will. Very Happy

I used to "dance" on the bags of hockey pucks from Starbucks in preparation for building a compost pile. This was a winter dance in pajamas and sweats.
