Used Coffee Grounds

Recommended Posts

This topic is for discussing the myriad uses of spent coffee grounds. Here's a good start: http://www.howtodothings.com/food-drink/how-to-reuse-coffee-grounds-the-top-10-alternate-uses

However, I'm after something a bit more esoteric. I noticed some mold growing on some used coffee grounds. Can this mold be used for anything? Cheese? Bread? Antibiotics?

I read somewhere that the "most common contaminants" of used coffee grounds are trichoderma, cobweb mold, and "basic pin mold." None of those three mean anything to me. ;)

Why don't you test those out and get back with us?

In the meantime, if your cycads have scale, coffee grounds will help repel it. Them. The scale insects, that is.
