Dump them in the middle of the lawn. You can then take a walk around the "grounds".

Coffee 1, give the grounds away free, already bagged up. !!! I take some now and again for compost bin. I have found it good.

We had a compost bin where we used to live, but we moved to the sub-tropics 8 years ago, and compost gets REALLY stinky very quickly, and who wants to attract snakes? Don't ask me how snakes manage to get lids off compost bins, climb in, and pull the lid back on :-S

It's bad enough when I go outside and find an enormous python having a sleep on the table.

:-( :-0 :-0

Slugs dont like them..

Costa coffee places sell used grounds also Starbucks are happy to give their away.

I get big bags full from Costa it goes on my allotment round veg where slugs like to nibble.

I have always chucked mine in the garden.

Love the coffee-drinkers' piece, by the way. Am grinning from ear to ear 'ere :-D

One year something is 'good' for you - the next it's 'bad'. :-S

'Coffee drinkers more likely to live longer' -- an article in yesterday's Times.

And it included an extra comment that coffee drinkers are less likely to comit suicide.

A win-win situation. :-D

Coffee grounds and other raw vegetable matter go in the compost heap.

Other kitchen and non recyclable household waste might fill 2 small pedal bin bags a week. Being cooler, it rarely starts to pong. Most of our rubbish goes in the dry recycling bin!

Ah Councils!

Don't you just love them.

An impracticable solution to every problem :-D :-D

( worked in Local Government for over forty years :-()

Our coffee grinds used to go into the compost, but I now have a better use for it :-D

Local council have gone very "green"... we now have a big green bin that's collected every week (ordinary rubbish & recycle is collected fortnightly). The council gave everyone a small kitchen caddy, and a small roll of bags ... it takes two days to fill a bag... and just about everything goes into the big green bin. Big problem... the bin stinks... and I expect the possums will soon find a way to get the lid up... and then there's the rats & snakes. Council's solution?... put the green waste in the freezer! Not everyone has a huge freezer, and ours is full.. of food, not rubbish.

It's not easy being green.

Good in compost too, Scozz. We don't grind our own coffee now, but when we did the filter and grounds went straight into the compost bin.

We also put our fire ash into the bin, particularly after burning bones. Usually grind the smaller bones in a dolly pot :-D

What do you do with yours?

Throw them in the bin?

A few months ago, I read an article that claimed coffee grounds were good for roses. Hmmm....... if they're good for roses, they might be good for other flowering plants.

I don't grow roses (no point in the sub-tropics, the blooms go mouldy and fall off)...... but I do grow orchids.... so I gave some of the orchids a coffee fix.

You should see the moth orchids! Covered with beautiful blooms :-D A friend saw them, and asked if they were real..... she said they were so perfect, they looked plastic :-S :-S
