I put my coffee grounds, and the unbleached filters in the compost bins. But then my compost bins are so large I doubt the coffee makes much of an impact.

You are free to carry on as usual. I am only pointing out the latest information published in a trusted scientific source. Read it and make up your own mind.

I agree about coffee grounds , but then we don't make compost either . We don't put anything on the veg. garden that doesn't originate from our land.

Highly recommended for growing marijuana. I use tea and coffee grounds on the surface of the huge plastic pots I planted my acer palmatums in, seems to stop the birds from tipping out the soil. The plastic pots saved these lovely plants in the drought and a lot of water.

My coffee grounds are in Nespresso aluminium pods, so go in the yellow bin.

The most nutricious compost of all is human waste . The Chinese and Japanese always spread 'night soil' on the soil. The insanity of flushing toilets with all the huge expense of laying pipes - that break, sewage plants, polluting rivers and the sea, instead of collecting,composting, including all kitchen waste and then steaming it to kill all bacteria etc. Creating excellent soil conditioner. Of course vested interests do not want that to happen.
Curtis split open the pods and use it. I knew a clever man in the UK who collected all the aluminium cans, indeed any aluminium which he then compressed when he had enough he sold it, a nice little earner.

Becoming a scrap metal merchant has been an attractive idea to be ever since I started to read The Exchange & Mart from cover to cover at the age of about nine. I wonder if it in in the genes. I have recently discovered that my grandfather was a foreman for a scrap merchant.

Also if you read that from cover to cover your eyes will be shot by now.

The minutiae of life has become an obsession for me. Although my vision has lost some acuity it is still pretty good I don’t need glasses. www.tapatalk.com/groups/theroyalwindsorforum/viewtopic.php?p=64999#p64999Stop press. I have just had a message from an enquiry that I made about the location of a bridge to the daughter of a friend. Apparently, the bridge is in Paris and ’ I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and……

I agree that using purified water for flushing is daft but then not evrrybody has a garden or composter to get rid of the human waste

Human waste for mucking the garden? Perhaps earlier, before so many of the civlised population started using drugs (including contraceptives) I remember the problems that were produced by the dredging of the gunge out the Rotterdan harbour jonks ago, when they used it as fertiliser for pastures where milk cows were kept. The only compost we use is leaves and pot ash from our wood burner then once every 4 years ( in cycle) sheep muck .No human waste for us thanks !! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

There's been a few articles recently - the Gardeners World magazine one is well balanced.
Coffee grounds can slow germination - they do steal a bit of nitrogen when they start rotting (probably negligible) and they're acidic.
Composting them removes what small risk there is (bit like leaving wood chips for a few months before using them as a mulch)

Says the man who obviously has not heard about a serious E-Coli outbreak in the UK. And just how does he propose to steam his waste without contributing to the problem of CO2 production. And of course the water companies do (or at least are supposed to) take the solid wastes and neutralise the bacteria and then sell the material for exactly the purposes you suggest.
