Don't Throw Your Coffee Grounds.

[@firstmate015]

Thank you Alex, for sharing your coffee ground information with your viewers. I also use coffee grounds to feed my red composting worms. I have had a four layer composting bin for 37 years and would never give it up. The worm castings are so beneficial to my vegetable garden. I have egg cartons from the grocery store which I soak in water so the worms eat the cartons as well as all my vegetable and fruit scraps. I probably have 700,000 worms in my bin. I wish I could send a photo to you. I'm 78 in September and have had these worms nearly half of my life. You have your Angelica, 2 dogs and I have pet worms, ha ha. Good luck on your homestead. You are bringing back to the farm much love and prosperity will be yours in the future.🐑🐾🐔

[@AlexLukachina]

Thank you very much Pat!! Haha yeah I consider my worms my pets as well :)

[@rachelfrees1268]

Love your curiosity. Worm farming is an old art. As a child on our farm in Virginia, USA, I drugged for worms under the rocks on the farm to fish with. A river ran in the middle of our farm. (dugged.)

[@AlexLukachina]

Hi Rachel, That sounds awesome!

[@helenblatherwick8994]

Hi Alex, enjoyed your video, I use my coffee grounds in my veg patch, it keeps snails/slugs away from my lettuces. I also plant Marigolds with my carotts, this keeps the Carrott fly away,they don't like their smell. This video was very informative, you have a great wormer set up. Thankyou for sharing,have a good weekend. Stay safe.

[@juliecasey4377]

Egg shells are also great compost to use especially for tomato plants.

[@AlexLukachina]

Indeed, I use them in my Worm Bin. They also stabilaize the PH.

[@trevorwindle8980]

If your tomatoes have a scabby bottom like something has bitten 1/3 off , this is calcium deficiency so crushed shell or dried and blended remedies this ants also hate grounds on & in their holes👍❤️❤️❤️🙏

[@graciemaca6996]

Growing up, my mother always saved the spent coffee grounds for the flower gardens. She did this for the remainder of her life. It always helped the flowers to grow strong and lush. I think the acid in the grounds helped the soil.

[@donaldrentfrow4333]

From what I remember, my grandfolks ALWAYS put their coffee grounds in the compost AND especially the Rose beds.......... I don't raise roses, so just the the grounds over the grass............ old coffee grounds are a GREAT moister retainer.......

[@ecowarrior1888]

Yes Tea bags as well, peels all edible kitchen waste, we make compost from all of it.

[@57motherbear]

These videos are so good! I’m late to begin watching, so will have a cold beverage and catch up!

[@thefatbaker]

Good evening Alex, thank you for the education about the coffee grounds.

[@AlexLukachina]

Hi thefatbaker, Thank you for the feedback!!

[@PortugalaGals]

Thank you so much, Alex, for a very informative video. I do put coffee grounds into my compost and also heard that they are good for fig trees. I have a fig tree which has suffered from lack of nutrients so I'm putting some coffee grounds around the base every couple of weeks.

[@AlexLukachina]

Hi Fe M B, Ohh really? that is wonderful information, I do have some fig trees that are in bad condition, I will try to put coffee grounds around them, Thank you for that!!

[@helenanunes6751]

Very interesting and useful information!👏👏 Thank you, Alex. I love your videos. Best wishes for you and your family

[@AlexLukachina]

Hi Helena, Thank you very much for the feedback!! I wish you the best as well!!

[@charlenequinilty7252]

I always use coffee grounds in my compost bins. Don’t raise red worms but there are many earth worms in my compost which I use in my garden

[@cathyrowekamp5176]

Thank you for explaining what to do and not to do with coffee grounds. I have been saving mine for months and was going to mix it in the soil but now I know better. I had no idea they were a pest repellant and I plan to use it for that. Great information.

[@conniea9201]

I put it in the my compost pile and egg shell and other vegetable peels 😊

[@christoffer1973]

It is also good to put around plants.

[@cliveroulstone9366]

Very informative

[@sandylfgrubb]

We put coffee grounds (and any leftover coffee from our coffee pot) around our plants...it helps them grow

[@ginapereira2301]

I mix the coffee grounds into the food for the worms along with egg shells.

[@LorraineHutch]

Also with coffee grounds egg shells or even a whole egg on occasion, and wilted vegetables.

[@AlexLukachina]

Hi Lorraine, Yes egg shells are my second favorite, they have so many benefits as well :)

[@colinbrooks6290]

Coffee grounds are great as well as eggshells, used veggies to compost.. No meat or dairy .

[@liliannaryniewicz5380]

ja wyrzucam fusy po' kawie na moj kompost.Polecam kupic wloska(italian) moka ,z niej Kawa jest smaczniejsza niz ta zalewajka.

[@GlendaHayward]

When the ants raid my house I spread coffee grounds down and the ants leave.

[@AlexLukachina]

Raid Your house LOL. And thats a great way of using coffee grounds!

[@alvaalvarado2587]

thanks, I have a pot with an aphid, I'll take it to see if it works, it's a mandarin

[@AlexLukachina]

Hi Alva, Please do and update me with the results, I am curious as well :)

[@spicynomad]

are those olive trees in the background?

[@roberttolliver5430]

Dose the caffeine keep your worms up longer to produce more compost. Ha ha Please give us an update on what’s happening with your channel. Hope all is well with your father and your family. Really miss this channel’s content.

[@duartemonteiro7463]

😀👌

[@codyleeser392]

I will start to put them around the foundation of my house where the ants are coming in.

[@AlexLukachina]

Thats an awesome idea!

[@coby6417]

👍🌟💐🍀

[@OrlandoPaco]

Dude! Get a tiny expresso machine! Or at least the coffee maker "Italiana"!

[@OrlandoPaco]

By the way if your a heavy coffee drinker like me, try using your urine with veryous greeneries like "salsa", "cidreira", "tomates", "alface" and others.

[@paulfreegard1271]

so worms like two sugars Alex..................

[@AlexLukachina]

Its 1 and a half ))

[@sandyangel4243]

I heard coffee was nasty in Europe. You all make what we call cowboy coffee. I prefer no grounds in my coffee

[@anitaklamer3360]

Well, you heard wrong. In most Europe countries coffee is brewed filtered and drunk without the ground and is deliciouse. For instance Italy manufactures some of the best coffee machines. It is, each his/her own preference, to drink it with the ground but not common. 😁

[@helenagracio7556]

Sandy Angel - In Portugal we have the best coffee blands. We don't drink buckets of a dark water with coffee aroma. We drink very strong and tasty expressos.

[@cathunter3874]

Never had an Italian coffee?
