I drink a lot of coffee but not that much lol! Thankfully I'm on good terms with the little coffee shop they have in the building that I work at so I have the hook-up :D They filled up almost a full 5 gallon bucket for me each day!
Susie Johnson here’s the follow-up video. th-cam.com/video/xBgzi2xs92M/w-d-xo.html Check out my entire lawn care playlist I have a few other lawn update videos for this year as well showing the progress with everything I’ve done so far. It’s come a long way!
I collect coffee grounds from work and everyday I apply about a gallon to my lawn, and about another gallon goes to compost. From what I've read caffine supresses plant growth, and the nitrogen is not readily available and takes some time to be available from the actions of microorganisms releasing the nitrogen. This means you won't see instantaneous results but things should improve over a longer time span. I figured that the lawn should get the grounds in its dormancy, up until around March and then it should be left up untill the end of September. I had really heavy clay soil (I bought a house with a 50 year old lawn) which bakes in summer if it is not regularly watered and also makes it difficult for long root growth of the grass. So I looked at various options and decided that coffee grounds and wood ash were two free sources of materials that would help build up the soil structure, along with my own made bio char and soot from the chimney. The soil structure is building up nicely and through use of a tine aerator the grass is coming on well. Like I say, don't expect instant results but what you are doing by building up your soil and improving the micronutrients is miles better than the quick fix solution of keeping your grass fed like a crackhead on Isobutylidenediurea and Formaldehyde and the like, personally I don't want my kids playing in petrochemicals also all of that crap will leave no beneficial effect to your soil after three summers. I give my lawn a good feed of (free)(stinky) nettle tea, it has lots of additional nutrients including iron. Your pee is also a great free fertilizer, but I'll leave that decision to you!
Train in Vain this is some excellent information! And you are absolutely right. I did a follow up video a few weeks later and you are right I did not see immediate beneficial results at least to foliar growth or color. But I’m in it for the long haul trying to build a thriving micro organism community in my soil. Between that and organic fertilizers a few times a year I think it’s really going to help out long term. I’ll be doing another soil test later this spring to compare things after one year. I have a very high pH here so I’m hoping this helps bring it back down to where the grass likes it more. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I like that idea! Easy application that way. I'm not doing it so large scale anymore, but I do put my used coffee grounds into a compost bin for my microgreens now. Works well.
Yumpin Yiminy there’s definitely some benefits, even if you can’t see the results as quickly as a quick release nitrogen. But it’s free and it’s recycling so, win-win! Thanks for watching!
Oh yeah that kid is hard to keep up with! Thank goodness we live in a very quiet corner subdivision on the last road in town. Luckily he doesnt go much further than the corner of the road! We dont have sidewalks here so there's people walking on the road all the time around here. This is why I have my back yard fenced in :D @ 3:48 is about as far as he goes thankfully.
7 days in since I posted this video and I have a few streaky areas that greened up a little bit. Will probably be even better once we get some more rain and it starts to break down in 2 or 3 weeks. But really, the benefit for me is getting it incorporated into the soil once I do an aeration. From what I've read a lot of people like coffee grounds for gardens and composting so I figured what's the worst that can happen lol.
I’ve done this for years. I only use what my wife and I have left over after we drink our coffee every couple days( about a cup of used grounds/day). We own an acre of land that has grass and I honestly can’t tell you if it has made a difference. We had a drought this past summer and my grass looked rough but it came right back.
Awesome! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this isn't a bad idea lol. Couldn't see any immediate results but I've heard there's good nutrients in here to be had. So if anything it's adding a little organic matter to the soil. Never hurts! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Interesting! Looks like I might have to find a supplier of some coffee skins :) I remember the last house that I lived at the previous owners used the coffee cherry skins as an organic ground cover/mulch for the garden bed area. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’m in the process of doing that but I’m gonna mix it with banana peels,because I eat bananas every day, and mix it with some topsoil and actually drill 10 inch deep x 1.5 inch wide holes in my lawn to improve the clay soil.
Have you noticed any change since drilling holes? I did a 50 sq ft test area in my clay yard in 2022 and filled with leaf compost/mold. 1.5 diameter auger bit x 13" deep x 1 foot spacing. I haven't noticed any difference with grass color, growth, density, drainage. Thought I would see something but you wouldn't even know I did all that effort if you looked at it today.
Awesome! I always appreciate a shout out from other youtubers to help me grow my channel! I saw you on the chat the other night. I love making these videos it's a lot of fun just sharing knowledge and helping others who might be interested. This should be an interesting little science project lol. 9 days in and I have just a few little darker green streaks where it went down a bit heavier. But this will really be beneficial once I do an overseeding and aeration when the coffee grounds gets combined into the top couple inches of soil.
@@AsLawnandLandscaping that's awesome! I'm totally going to check out your channel, I've only been actively posting for about 6 weeks now, it's a long-haul battle for sure. Great to see someone your age so interested in something like this, you can make a great career out of it and be your own business owner some day!

Keep up the hard work dude, you will be very successful some day!
Oh you did see this other video I just responded to your other comment haha! I think there’s a definite benefit to having additional time Ryan of matter in your lawn but it’s not a “one and done” type of thing. I would maybe try and apply it regularly maybe a couple of times a year just to really build up that organic matter in your soil. And definitely apply it heavily to get a good benefit. Hard to say if there was any immediate reaction to applying it. I don’t think there was anything noticeable on the surface right away but over time I think the long term benefits are there. I’m going to wait and do another soil test next spring and see where I’m at. Hopefully there’s an improvement. Thanks for watching! Good luck in the lawn!
Haha! I do but it isn’t all from me thank goodness 😆 got it from the coffee shop at work they dump all their grounds into 5 gallon buckets and I took it off their hands for them. I don’t think I’m going to do this over my entire lawn again that was a lot of work lol maybe just do it for the garden instead. Thanks for watching!
@@DIYDad1 have you ever tried using some black strap molasses non-phosphate on your plants?...I hear that is good when u mix it 1tbs molasses to 1 gallon water ...also pure epsom salt works great too for magnesium.I just subbed your channel too
@@SlapChop1000 haven’t tried that myself but I’ve heard great things about molasses. Really helps improve soil health with repeated use. Thanks for watching!
That's a good start to adding some organic matter to your soil! You can add any sort of screened compost to benefit the lawn as well, even organic fertilizers can be very beneficial to helping with soil structure and nutrients.
Ogre Dad thanks for watching and commenting! I would say that I don’t think the short term results showed much of a difference between a regular low nitrogen organic fertilizer and the coffee. I think the long term benefits are what is really important as coffee is known to lower the pH of the soil as well as help with microbial activity in the soil making in healthier over time. I definitely would love to put more down this year if I could get my hands on a ton of it. One thing I noticed in the area that I didn’t put any coffee down is that my grass seed took longer to germinate in that area with no coffee. So maybe that’s a good data point. I did an update video that you can see here check it out! th-cam.com/video/xBgzi2xs92M/w-d-xo.html
I wonder if you could lay it all out on a tarp for a day and let it all dry out then use a fertilizer spreader? Drop some off at my house. I will try it too! :)
I'm about 9 days in since I put this down and the grass might look a little greener in a few strips, I'm not sure it's done anything at this stage yet. Just hoping the organic material added will start to break down and will help with microbial activity for when I go to overseed in about 10 weeks. But that's a great idea with the tarp! I dumped these buckets into my wheelbarrow and let it sit in my garage for a few days so the surface was dry at least, but being used coffee grounds it was kinda chunky and hard to work with lol. Unfortunately with all the rain we've had it was hard to find a day to let it all sit out and dry up, Saturday would have been perfect actually.
@@YardGuy yeah I have some stains on the concrete I need to clean up now where some of it leaked LOL. So stay tuned for a garage floor cleaning video now I guess haha!
It has actually been brewed once but mostly left out to dry. Some of it was still wet coffee grounds when I went to spread it out onto the lawn so it took a bit of raking to get it all spread out evenly. But it works! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nim Rod hard to say without any definitive soil test data, which I’ll be doing a test in the spring to compare to earlier this year before the coffee went down. I think the long-term benefits will be increased microbial action in the soil. I saw negligible changes in actual grass color compared to the control area in the short term. Supposedly coffee has up to 10% nitrogen per pound. Maybe my lawn was just so deficient in N to begin with lol. One thing I did notice that’s been positive, I’ve seen a lot more earth worms in the soil! So that’s a great thing, they really help with aeration and overall health of the soil!
Kathryn Broussard I would say the short term effect was “marginal” but my lawn has a pretty significant nitrogen deficiency so that could be why that it wasn’t enough to make a difference in appearance right away. Even side-by-side next to milorganite application it looked pretty similar. But I’m more hopeful that the long-term effects will be beneficial due to increased microbial activity in the soil. Here is the follow up video, thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/xBgzi2xs92M/w-d-xo.html
CAV Textiles that’s a good question. I’m not entire sure to be honest! If it makes any difference I didn’t really see any slugs in my lawn before so my guess is maybe there’s some sort of other organic matter that they are attracted to? You could try applying a granular grub control to your lawn and see if that helps. Usually those grub control products have a pretty broad range of controlled pests depending on the active ingredient used.
Programming Chicago I didn’t notice any immediate change in appearance to the grass, but I think the benefits are more to the soil and long term than anything else. I’d love to repeat this a few more time and keep building up that organic matter in my soil. I know my soil is lacking organic matter and micro nutrients so this might help that in the long term. I did a follow up video to this and you couldn’t really tell much of a difference when using regular organic fertilizer. So it’s probably easier to just use organic fertilizers for a similar benefit but this was free and I wanted to try it lol. Hope that answers your question! I know people who use this in their garden a lot and for composting.
Hello I’ve been watching your video and I’m having a problem with my grass growing in spots I was wondering are you able to sale and send out some of the coffee grounds that you have
miguel Shabaev try going to a local coffee shop and ask the manager if you can take the used coffee grounds from them. Sometimes they will say yes since that’s just less that they need to throw away, a lot of people like using coffee grounds for composting. But another question, what sort of problems are you having with lawn? There could be any number of problems happening that you can try to fix depending on the problem.
My Starbucks just gave me three giant bags for free. The woman AJ was so happy to collect and give it to me, I don''t feel guilty about asking for more. They even have special stickers that say, Free for Your Garden, so this is a common thing. I'm going to take three bags every day or so. I love my house, but hate my lawn, dug down in a few spots that would never grow grass, and it was all just gray clay - god damn. Put good dirt down, from Home Depot, but didn't work well, too much grass seed had too much grass, the new shoots, too many, too close together, too damp, then got fungus and died. Am enthralled with the comments in this section, about other folks having clay issues, and using this. Might life would be complete with a normal lawn. I wish I didn't even have a lawn, but I live in America.
Adarsh GUPTA he knows where to stop at least! Right before he gets to the asphalt. Yeah he likes flying up and down the driveway a lot lol, crazy kids part of why I’m also glad I live in such a small and quiet subdivision without a lot of traffic. I saw him out of the corner of my eye as I was making this and thinking boy you better stop or I’m going to have to yell at you 😃
Brendan Hall pretty much lol. Visually it was too hard to tell. I think the long term benefits are that I added a bit of organic matter to the soil. But I think if I really wanted to see some more substantial benefits I’d have to apply this much more often and in greater quantities. I think there’s easier ways to amend the soil 😁. Check out the update video here if you care to th-cam.com/video/xBgzi2xs92M/w-d-xo.html
Sándor Fizli oh yeah I’ve gotten a lot of comments about that lol he knows where to stop there’s a short gutter along the side of the road that he knows not to cross over onto the asphalt and luckily we are on a dead end road in the back of a small subdivision so it’s only local traffic here, people are going pretty slow usually before going around the corner out front. That’s also why I put the fence up in the back yard to keep the kids contained better 😄
Dunaldango huge renovation coming up in a few weeks! I know it’s bad, and soil is very hard and compacted. Previous owners kind of neglected it before me so I am doing a lot to it soon!
That's a crazy amount coffee grounds! Thrower down & let's hope for the best!

Does coffee ground help to keep slugs away from lawn? I’ve tried over seeding twice but slugs always ate the seeds and baby grass.
CAV Textiles that’s a good question. I’m not entire sure to be honest! If it makes any difference I didn’t really see any slugs in my lawn before so my guess is maybe there’s some sort of other organic matter that they are attracted to?

Brendan Hall pretty much lol. Visually it was too hard to tell. I think the long term benefits are that I added a bit of organic matter to the soil. But I think if I really wanted to see some more substantial benefits I’d have to apply this much more often and in greater quantities. I think there’s easier ways to amend the soil 😁.

WTF! That kid just drove onto the roadway!
Sándor Fizli oh yeah I’ve gotten a lot of comments about that lol he knows where to stop there’s a short gutter along the side of the road that he knows not to cross over onto the asphalt and luckily we are on a dead end road in the back of a small subdivision so it’s only local traffic here, people are going pretty slow usually before going around the corner out front. That’s also why I put the fence up in the back yard to keep the kids contained better 😄
Ideally you keep the coffee grounds in a heap outside for the few weeks before applying it directly to plants
Oh yeah that would have made ot much easier to spread out. I didn't have the patience for that 😁 lol thanks for watching!
Did you see your kid ride his Bi Wheel into the street?
When your grass is so weak it cant be raked, its time to let more usefull stuff grow there instead.
Dunaldango huge renovation coming up in a few weeks! I know it’s bad, and soil is very hard and compacted. Previous owners kind of neglected it before me so I am doing a lot to it soon!
Your background music is very annoying.
Dude, you need food. Grow some food
Oh have you seen one of my latest videos? I'm doing micro greens and container gardens now!
