Starbucks to the Rescue
Please do not send me hate mail fair trade activists! But Starbucks provides the spent coffee grounds from their operations free of charge to their customers. The coffee grounds are available at the store and it is excellent organic material that should be placed in your compost pile. Coffee grains are rich with nitrogen which helps accelerate compost and makes excellent rich soil for the garden. And if your compost stinks, the deposit should temporarily provide a different aroma.
