Coffee grounds are great for the
ground
The TASNG Waste group has been nose to the grindstone
about coffee grounds. A survey of 12 coffee providers around Toronto has shown
a definite trend in the move away from single use plastic cups and also the
provision of coffee grounds for gardeners to boost organic matter and nitrogen
in the compost heaps. Coffee grounds in the garden have other purported
uses such as fertilizer, ph adjuster, mulch, slug ‘n snail deterrent
and cat repellent.

Good to know you can take your own cup to all of these cafes at Toronto. Thanks to TSANG for doing the ground-work ;)
