Fertilising coffee

  • I can't deny that I'm a coffee lover. I'm going to take half a dozen of them every day. I like the coffee I like, in the tacite I like the little one less than half, doing generates a lot of waste every day. I think so. And what do you do with the scraps of coffee? I need ecological, economic and practical reuse. The household stuff goes directly to the pile of manure that's crumbling.
Pittin bat azidoa da kafearen hondarra, simaur gehienak bezala.
Pittin bat azidoa da kafearen hondarra, simaur gehienak bezala.

The coffee made from the ground seeds of the plant Coffea spp leaves a good fertilizer. Pittin is a bit acidic, like most manure, and they love to receive breezes (Erica spp), rododendros (Rododendron spp), hydrangea macrophylla, which are acidulating around them. The color of the flowers of the latter is also a stimulus to live.

It promotes boiling mixed with other organic waste in the earth stack. It accelerates worm work, helps digestion, and accelerates with caffeine. It is a balanced residue for the manufacture of the trench, with a carbon/nitrogen ratio of around 20 (the best materials usually have 25-30). It is also used directly as land fertiliser. In the seedlings, to plant small plants, the food that is mixed and released with the soil in pots or in the orchard will be easily taken over by the plants. By removing the land, heal the lands that have moisture problems or are too slow, giving the roots of the plants favorable facilities for their growth and food. For example, if we put ourselves in the place of radishes (Raphanus spp) or carrots (Daucus carota), a number of leftovers of coffee will be generously taken.

I know someone who puts those sands next to the plants. Caffeine doesn't seem to like snails and snails, so it delays them. It says it doesn't kill them, but it crushes them. Maybe it's more because of its dust structure than because of caffeine, because they can't crawl comfortably over it. Someone has also told me that it scares cats. The cat doesn't do much damage in the orchard, but when it bursts the earth, it can destroy small plants. Coffee the cat alone!
