It's a smart way to reuse organic material, but the amount of nutrients the product provides to the plant is very small. Our gardener Carol Costa shows an even better way to use coffee residue to give your greens a boost. Using raw coffee grounds provides a very small dose of nitrogen to the soil. You can use coffee filtered through a cloth or paper filter, an espresso machine or capsules, sweetened or pure, an electric coffee maker, a French or Italian press, sweetened or not. What you need to know is that grounds are a moist material, so it's good to know if the plant likes moisture on the soil. Avoid using them on succulents or cacti, for example. If you have protective straws, don't forget to move them away, spread the coffee grounds and then cover them again with the dry material. The smartest way to use coffee grounds is to store them in a dark place, and in a few weeks, microscopic creatures will emerge there. Mold and bacteria will start to form cultures in this material, and many of these little creatures are beneficial to the soil. In addition to that gray and dark mold, you will notice that other more colorful ones will emerge: pink, green, blue and yellow ones are formed by fungi and bacteria that we want! These little creatures feed on sugars, and this is exactly what many plants produce. When a plant produces too much of these sugars and the soil is poor in microorganisms, they accumulate and end up attracting pests. The trick is to increase the microscopic life in the substrate and let these little creatures do their good work. After about six months of coffee grounds in the dark and you notice that colorful molds have emerged, you can offer this living matter in two ways: the first and easiest is by mixing the coffee grounds directly into the substrate, a very good way to do it when you are planting. The second way is by making a type of syrup. Add four cups of coffee grounds with colored fungi to a bottle of approximately one liter, add a cup of organic sugar and fill with water, almost to the brim. Mix and close the bottle, opening the bottle a few times a day. The fungi will begin to feed on the sugars and the colony will grow. It is important to use unrefined sugar, because the whiter sugar undergoes a chemical treatment to get a very white color, and the fungi are super sensitive to any chemical product – even the one found in refined sugar.
