Tips And Tricks To Reuse Keurig Coffee Pods In Your Backyard
By Jahaira Arthur
Tearing off the foil on the Keurig coffee pods, you'll notice the used grounds look like soil. It's very fitting, therefore, that the crushed beans can enhance just that.
Coffee grounds add major nutrients to plant and potting soil, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, plus micronutrients like magnesium, copper, and calcium.
As a soil amendment, first, ensure the grounds are dry and cool. Then, apply a ½-inch layer to your garden bed and rake the coffee dregs through the top 4 inches.
You can also use the grounds as mulch. Sprinkle the remains from your coffee pods in a ½-inch layer around your plants and cover with a 4-inch pile of leaves or wood chips.
