WILLEMSTAD - The goodness of coffee grows beyond the cup! Reusing coffee grounds reduces landfill waste and supports environmental health. Starbucks visited two local farmers on Earth Day last Friday, to kick of their project 'Grounds For Your Garden'.
Coffee grounds have an average pH of 6,9, a carbon-nitrogen ratio of 20:1, and can be added directly to the land or garden as a side dressing for nitrogen-loving plants. Together with two local farmers "Plant for your Health" and Xotic Dragons Starbucks kicked-off the project in good spirit. Local farmers and gardeners can collect a bag for free at Starbucks Renaissance Mall store every Tuesday starting as of April 26th - while supply lasts.
