INTRODUCTION;

By the removal of the seeds/beans many nutrients are taken from the field. To retain high yields, sufficient
nutrients have to be added constantly. Composting the shells and bringing them back into the soil helps to
maintain nutrients and organic matter. Fertiplus Coffee compensates the loss of organic matter and
nutrients and in this way soil fertility can be maintained. Fertiplus Coffee contains all necessary nutrients
the coffee plants need. In some cases with a low nitrogen level in the soil, extra nitrogen fertilizing is needed.
Fertiplus Coffee stimulates soil activity and allows incorporation of trace elements.

Special to this Fertiplus® pellet, is the Kalium (K) it contains. Kalium guarantees that the plants are well
able to absorb nutrients from the soil. In combination with the other nutrients, this results in a strong and
healthy plant with increased vitality and resistance. This is noticeable by the attractive dark green leaves
and the firmness of the plants.

Advantages

 No additional fertilisation needed

 Strong and healthy plant with increased vitality and resistance
 Guaranteed absorption of sunlight

PROCEDURE;
Whether you make your cup of coffee daily or you have noticed your local coffee house has started to
put out bags of used coffee, you may be wondering about composting with coffee grounds. Are coffee
grounds as fertilizer a good idea? And how do coffee grounds used for gardens help or hurt? Keep
reading to learn more about coffee grounds and gardening. Composting Coffee Grounds Composting
with coffee is a great way to make use of something that would otherwise end up taking up space in a
landfill. Composting coffee grounds helps to add nitrogen to your compost pile. Composting coffee
grounds is as easy as throwing the used coffee grounds onto your compost pile. Used coffee filters can
be composted as well. If you will be adding used coffee grounds to your compost pile, keep in mind that
they are considered green compost material and will need to be balanced with the addition of some
brown compost material. Coffee Grounds as Fertilizer Used coffee grounds for gardening does not end
with compost. Many people choose to place coffee grounds straight onto the soil and use it as a
fertilizer. The thing to keep in mind is while coffee grounds add nitrogen to your compost, they will not
immediately add nitrogen to your soil. The benefit of using coffee grounds as a fertilizer is that it adds
organic material to the soil, which improves drainage, water retention and aeration in the soil. The used
coffee grounds will also help microorganisms beneficial to plant growth thrive as well as attract
earthworms. Many people feel that coffee grounds lower the pH (or raise the acid level) of soil, which is
good for acid loving plants. But this is only true for unwashed coffee grounds. “Fresh coffee grounds are
acidic. Used coffee grounds are neutral.” If you rinse your used coffee grounds, they will have a near
neutral pH of 6.5 and will not affect the acid levels of the soil. To use coffee grounds as fertilizer, work
the coffee grounds into the soil around your plants. Leftover diluted coffee works well like this too.
Other Uses for Used Coffee Grounds in Gardens Coffee grounds can also be used in your garden for
other things. Many gardeners like to use used coffee grounds as a mulch for their plants. Other used for
coffee grounds include using it to keep slugs and snails away from plants. The theory is that the caffeine
in the coffee grounds negatively affects these pests and so they avoid soil where the coffee grounds are
found. Some people also claim that coffee grounds on the soil is a cat repellent and will keep cats from
using your flower and veggie beds as a litter box. You can also use coffee grounds as worm food if you
do vermicomposting with a worm bin. Worms are very fond of coffee grounds. Using Fresh Coffee
Grounds We get lots of questions about using fresh coffee grounds in the garden. While it’s not always
recommended, it shouldn’t be a problem in some situations. For instance, you can sprinkle fresh coffee
grounds around acid-loving plants like azaleas, hydrangeas, blueberries, and lilies. Many vegetables like
slightly acidic soil, but tomatoes typically don’t respond well to the addition of coffee grounds. Root
crops, like radishes and carrots, on the other hand, respond favorably – especially when mixed with the
soil at planting time. The use of fresh coffee grounds are thought to suppress weeds too, having some
allelopathic properties, of which adversely affects tomato plants. Another reason why it should be used
with care. That being said, some fungal pathogens may be suppressed as well. Sprinkling dry, fresh
grounds around plants (and on top of soil) helps deter some pests same as with used coffee grounds.
While it doesn’t fully eliminate them, it does seem to help with keeping cats, rabbits and slugs at bay,
minimizing their damage in the garden. As previously mentioned, this is thought to be due to the
caffeine content. In lieu of the caffeine found in fresh, unbrewed coffee grounds, which can have an
adverse effect on plants, you may want to used decaffeinated coffee or only apply fresh grounds
minimally to avoid any issues. Coffee grounds and gardening go together naturally. Whether you are
composting with coffee grounds or using used coffee grounds around the yard, you will find that coffee
can give your garden as much of a pick me up as it does for you.
