Sustainability

Our coffee is also incredible for your garden! Heres what to do with your used coffee grounds:

Compost

Adding coffee grounds to your compost has proven to reduce the natural release of greenhouse gas emissions from compost, whilst making it richer in nutrients and of a greater quality. The grounds help to speed up the composting process. Adding this to your garden can help the soil hold more nutrients and water, increasing the health of your plants.

 

Pest Repellent

The leftover caffeine in coffee grounds assist in keeping pests, such as slugs and snails away. Some say that cats are also deterred.

 

Fertilise Your Garden

Coffee grounds contain nitrogen, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and chromium – essential minerals for plant growth, and may help absorb heavy metals and contaminates in soil.

Simply sprinkle your coffee grounds onto the soil surrounding your plants – the worms love it!

Careful not to overdo it on the tomatoes – but roots such as carrots and radishes, and acid-loving plants such as hydrangeas, azaleas, blueberries and lilies love it, especially when mixed in at planting time
