I know coffee can be used as a natural (and organic) fertilizer for gardens and even coffee plants. So, I am trying to collect grounds to start my spice and veggie garden this spring and was wondering if anyone has tips on how to keep and store the grounds.
I have been saving the grounds from the bottom of the presses around the office daily and using burlap to filter the grounds, but have noticed mold growing on the grounds/burlap. So, I've got a few questions, i was hoping could be answered...
Will the mold affect the grounds as a fertilizer?
What the best way to collect and store the grounds after brewing? And do they need to be fully dried before storing? If so, what has worked for you?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
