It all began with me saving some coffee waste because I heard that it's good for... plants, or something... Then it got covered in mold. So I looked into what to do with moldy pile of coffee ground and that's when I learned about it.
I started by putting the moldy coffee ground in a bucket. Then I incorporated green kitchen scraps that wouldn't get too wet like onion skin, bokchoy root, and some dried leaves from the yard. After a while it became like soil (even smell like it), and that's when I knew I succeeded.
Right now I am onto a new batch. I tried something different this time with fruit scraps as well as eggshell. I also put some shallots that I thought was going bad. Instead of rotting, it sprouted in that pile. Guess it shows that it's good for something, right?
I started saving grounds because i heard they were a mosquito repellent. When mine molded i threw them away. Good job learning the better way!
Never too late to retry 😉
