There's good reason why coffee grounds are used as a fertilizer for lawns. It's all because of the nutrients they contain, which are a true treasure trove of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. They not only strengthen the lawn but also support its growth.

Even the least experienced gardeners should know how important it is to aerate the soil. Coffee grounds are perfect for this – they can slow down the drying of the soil, which will be very beneficial for the plants growing in it.

Not everyone is aware of how many pests dislike the smell of coffee. By spreading the grounds as fertilizer, we protect our crops.

The collected grounds should be spread evenly over the lawn. October is the last opportunity to do this, as there is usually no frost yet, which gives the nutrients in the grounds time to soak into the soil.
