Overview

  • Coffee grounds, rich in nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, provide essential nutrients for robust lawn growth and soil health.
  • Experts recommend drying and evenly spreading coffee grounds on lawns, followed by light raking, to optimize nutrient absorption and prevent clumping.
  • Coffee grounds improve soil aeration and water retention, fostering stronger root development and healthier grass.
  • The natural properties of coffee grounds deter pests like slugs and snails while also suppressing weed growth by inhibiting seed germination.
  • Recycling grass clippings and kitchen scraps like eggshells and banana peels offers an eco-friendly and affordable alternative to synthetic fertilizers.
