Composting
Last January I had the opportunity to attend, the Cleveland Botanical Gardens Sustainability Symposium, it was day well spent listening to speakers suggesting ways we can improve our health, lives, soil and communities. I always come away from programs like these contemplating how can I put this "classroom" knowledge into practice.
One of the comments that was made by the guest speaker was, we should drink 6 cups of coffee a day. Wow that is a lot of coffee. If he had realized that I was in the audience he would have pointed his finger at "the old lady in the funky pink running shoes" and mentioned that more is not always better.
The only thing that crossed my mind is how beneficial those grounds would be, to both my compost pile and the soil in my market plants. I could drink more coffee, but that didn't seem wise. So the question was how to obtain more grounds?
