The most effective way to use coffee grounds in the garden is to dry them. You could dry them in the oven, but since I live in the desert, I’ll dry them outside in a pot. And you could dry them with the coffee filter. Since it’s 100°, it’ll dry out in a day. This will prevent mold and bacteria growth. Coffee grounds are very acidic, so store them and use them as a soil amendment.

Do you like using coffee grounds? ☕️💯
Great idea! I’ve been considering acidifying my soil for my hydrangeas, but I’m kind of enjoying watching them change colors. Will keep this in mind for next year! ❤
Mix them with wood ash to make an excellent compost additive to boost nitrogen from the coffee, and carbon, magnesium, potassium and calcium from the wood ash
But you need bacteria and mold to break it down so plants can use it.
I've heard caffeine is produced by coffee plants to suppress germination of seeds of competing plants, so it might help with weeds too
But whatever you do, don't put them in potted plants, inside or out. They will mold, no matter if you dry them out. Maybe not in helllish weather outside, but never indoors.
Good use of coffee grounds, but if you live in the Tropics and you want to protect amphibians, like small frogs or in Puerto Rico, the coquís, be careful as coffee grounds kill them.
Errmm, anyone else thinking that drying the grind is a waste of time. Its gonna absorb moisture as soon as it hits the ground or the next time it rains. Please someone explain.
Thank you for sharing the video❤ nice day my friend 🌸❤️🌺😍🙏
