The experts explained that coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, which is essential for healthy plant growth and the overall health of your lawn.
Coffee grounds can also improve soil structure by making it looser and more aerated, which is good for root growth.
The experts explained: “It isn’t the caffeine that stimulates healthy grass growth, but rather thenitrogen,phosphorus, and trace minerals that coffee grounds contain.
“These nutrients are released slowly, which is a big benefit over quick-release synthetic fertilisers.”;;
“The nutrients in coffee grounds are slowly broken down, allowing the turf to have a longer period of time to absorb them ensuring stronger turf for longer.”;;
Lilydale Instant Lawns added: “Coffee grounds are an excellent, eco-friendly way to give your lawn a nutrient boost.
“They are rich in nitrogen, which is a crucial element for grass growth. Applying coffee grounds to your lawn is straightforward, but it’s important to do it correctly to avoid any potential issues.”;;
To use coffee grounds on your lawn, simply make sure they’re dry and then sprinkle them across the grass.
Make sure to sprinkle them evenly, to avoid clumping, and then gently rake them into the soil.
Coffee grounds are super cheap, and can be picked up from the supermarket for as little as £1, making this hack perfect for penny pinchers.
They can also be used as a great natural deterrent to get rid of pests.
Slugs and snails hate the gritty texture of coffee, so if you spread it near plants, they will stay away.
What’s more, they can also suppress the growth of weeds in your garden, making them a useful and versatile product.
