Are coffee grinds good to put in compost?
Yes, they are excellent for adding to your compost, as well as grass clippings, shredded newsprint and vegetable waste. Coffee grounds are high in nitrogen but often can be acidic. Composting well before adding to the garden may be better, but small amounts can be added directly to the garden if needed. The coffee filters also decompose so you don't have to worry about scraping off the grounds. Many restaurants and coffee houses often throw away large amounts of coffee grounds. These places will often be willing to donate used coffee grounds for composting.
Can coffee grounds be used to fertilize plants?
Coffee grounds can be used as compost material, fertilizer, or mulch. So they can be applied to the surface, or mixed with the below ground soil. Compost used as fertilizer tends to be applied at the rate of 1/4 inch. Compost used as mulch tends to be mounded to a level of 2-3 inches. But in not any of the three cases should the compmost, fertilizer, or mulch be only of coffee grounds. For the grounds are acidic. So they can be used to slowly, slowly change the soil pH. And they can be sprinkled around such acidic soil lovers as azaleas, blueberries, and evergreens. They should not be sprinkled around alkaline soil lovers such as lupines.
How long does it take for coffee grounds to decompose?
Coffee grounds should be considered "green material" when added to a compost pile. They are also a good source of nitrogen for the compost. Because of the size and consistency they breakdown fast in the compost pile, faster than other materials so the speed should not be of much concern. Actually, coffee grounds can be spread directly around established plants. Worms seem to love them as food and they quickly incorporate the grounds into the soil so this is a bonus for the plants and soil.
