Mixing Food Grounds directly into your garden soil is a great way to improve both fertility and soil structure. It's important to note that while Food Grounds are not yet compost, they can still be added directly to the soil without the work of the full composting process.

Step-by-Step Guide

  • Prepare Your Garden: Apply 8 cups of FG per 10 ft² of soil.

  • Mix Thoroughly: Integrate the Food Grounds into the top six inches of soil.

  • Wait For It: Allow at least two weeks before planting to let microbes work their magic.

Adding Food Grounds to your garden quickly boosts soil health, enriches it with key nutrients, and improves fertility with ease.
