Starbucks Gardening hack to control weeds and fertilize for free!!

What happens here

Carefully pour or spread the used coffee grounds evenly over the surface of your garden bed. Aim for a layer approximately 1 to 2 inches thick around your plants. The presenter shows spreading the grounds by hand directly from the bag, ensuring they are distributed well to cover the soil surface. This layer effectively creates a physical barrier against weed growth and significantly aids in moisture retention, keeping the soil cooler and reducing the need for frequent watering.

Goal: Spread a uniform layer of used coffee grounds over the prepared garden bed to serve as a mulch layer.

Tools and materials

  • Hands
