Yes, although I would not use the flavored ones.

Yeah it’s just standard coffee from a coffee shop. Get it free and they throw it away so
Thought I’d use it for better use. Is there any risks associated with coffee? Eg allelopathic affect/ caffeine. Or can bananas handle it as they love nutrients
?

I would consider composting it before mixing it into the soil as an amendment (although I have never mixed it in directly so don't really know if it would be a problem) or just using it as a top dressing/mulch layer which is what I usually do with it (not bananas yet, but lots of other plants) and it works great that way.:0517:

Coffee is one of my favorite things in the world along with barbecue. I like to drink a coffee before every meal and after I wake up in the morning. A few weeks ago I calculated how much money I spend a month and I saw that coffee was one of the things at the top of the list. I thought that buying a coffee grinder would be a great idea since it would cost me less. I was looking for coffee grinders and I found this website, https://www.linlin.in.th/coffee-grinders/. I saw that their prices were decent and you could choose from a plethora of products. I bought one and I am glad about the purchase so far.

There is a worldwide coffee chain which has many stores giving away free coffee grounds as a soil amendment.

You can sometimes pick up a few pounds a day.
Coffee grounds are a great soil amendment and top dressing to the garden or planter.

There are also some good Youtube videos which show you how to use coffee grounds in creative ways.

I only just recently found out people use coffee grounds in gardening when my friend told me he uses it in his potted plants. Pretty interesting stuff. Thanks for the info

One of the reasons coffee grinds are so good, is ph control/adjustment. Most plants like a ph between neutral and slightly acidic, which coffee grinds help with.
You can add then directly to the soil too. I get a bunch and blend them with a few other ingredients. Composted is best, blended with manure and added minerals.

I have never used this method, but now I know I should think about it. I'm always drinking coffee, and I have to throw out the coffee grounds. And if this can help me in my banana-growing hobby now, that would be great. Especially since I just recently got myself a new Breville Grind Coffee maker that I heard about from https://www.coffeeinformer.com/coffe...-with-grinder/. Now it's easy for me to get the coffee grounds out and move them to some storage bowl. I will use this method and share my experience. I hope it'll work for me.

Yes, but can't you overdo it? I don't have a soil PH kit so I'd have no idea what the grounds are doing to my soil. Is it safe to just keep adding them?
