  • Hello, I am bringing home nice bags of coffee grinds from Starbucks. Lately I have been applying them as a mulch around the 13 blueberries bushes and the raspberries row rather than working into the soil. I use the pine straw as a light cover over the ginds and filters. So is this and okay application and can the plants get to much of the coffee grind mulch? I would like to continue this through the fall and winter months. Thank you, Rita

    I would suggest you work an application or two into the soil every once in a while to keep the coffee grounds from compacting on top of the soil, otherwise you are doing fine replenishing the nitrogen in the soil as well as other trace minerals and organic matter.
