Coffee grounds are a popular addition to garden soil, but it is unclear if plants actually benefit from the extra nitrogen and other nutrients they provide. A 2011 study found that coffee grounds did not improve the growth of bean plants, and may even stunt their growth. However, coffee grounds can still be used as mulch or compost.<\/p>\n

There is some debate on this topic, but many people believe that bean plants do like coffee grounds. Coffee grounds are a rich source of nitrogen, which is a key nutrient for plants. Additionally, coffee grounds can help improve soil drainage and aeration.<\/p>\n

Coffee grounds can help improve soil fertility because they contain nitrogen. However, they can also affect microorganisms in soil, plant growth and soil pH, so you should not rely on coffee grounds as plant food.<\/p>\n

When using coffee grounds as a fertilizer, it’s best to avoid using them with plants that don’t like acidic soil or high nitrogen levels in the soil. Some prominent examples of these plants include; tomatoes, rosemary, lavender, and asparagus. You need to think about your plant’s needs when deciding what type of fertilizers you will use.<\/p>\n
