ECO FRIENDLY SUSTAINABLE NATURAL ORGANIC SLOW RELEASE FERTILISER PELLETS MADE FROM 100% RECYCLED COFFEE GROUNDS. 2kg resealable standup pouch bag $12+gst.

A US company has started using spent Coffee Grounds from Instant Coffee Factories to make a new Fertiliser Pellet.
Coffee Grounds are commonly used as a fast release fertiliser, but they need to be mixed in with the soil so plants don't get burned. Our Coffee Pellets are tightly compressed with natural vegetable powder, and are slow release, so they can be used on top of the soil or mixed with Biochar charcoal for potting plants like Orchids. 

NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS, JUST PURE COFFEE GROUNDS & VEGETABLE POWDER BINDER.
 

COFFEE PELLETS were inspired by the popularity of spent coffee grounds used in home gardening and commercial farming. Coffee Pellets are composed of spent coffee grounds that are the byproduct of the instant coffee extraction process and are a unique organic material because of their high carbon content and water retention.  They are dried and partially carbonized like charcoal,to prevent mold growth, which results in 100% organic material with considerable benefits for the lawn and garden. 

Coffee Ground Benefits 

• Retains Moisture & Absorbs Nutrients 

• Promotes Biological Growth 

• Improves Strong Root Zone Development 

• Great for all acid-loving plants 

• Grow larger plants with deeper green colour 

• Long-lasting, slow-release feeding 

• Sustainable (Landfill Mitigated) 

Coffee Pellets should be spread on or mixed into the soil of lawns and gardens to help encourage plant growth and soil health through the addition of beneficial nutrients and by enhancing soil tilth and promoting healthy microbial growth. 

Coffee grounds act as a slow-release nitrogen mechanism. The nitrogen in the grounds is primarily bound in the organic fraction and is increasingly available to plants as soil microorganisms degrade it over time. This means that you will see year-over-year improvements to your soil and grasses' vigor for up to three years after applying. 

WARNING: Not for human or animal consumption. 

SUSTAINABLE PEAT MOSS SUBSTITUTE - ORGANIC SOIL AMENDMENT
Coffee practically matches peat moss’s benefits aside it is one of the largest organic wastes in the world. It can retain more water than peat moss in the equivalent space. With all the water it can retain, it does not compact well. Compacted soils make it hard to create any space for the water and air to pass through. Cover any compact material with Coffee Pellets to solve this problem and improve water drainage and aeration. They can also be used to reinvigorate patchy grass and cover bald lawn spots. 

LONG-LASTING, SLOW-RELEASE FEEDING FERTILIZER FOR ACID-LOVING PLANTS
With all the water it retains, it also retains nutrients. Coffee will absorb nutrients to balance its high carbon-nitrogen ratio. Due to this, coffee should not be overapplied or it can cause a nitrogen sink in the first year. A nitrogen source can be applied if any chlorosis occurs. Although a risk, it has a valuable benefit. The high carbon provides an influx of food for the microorganisms which is the start of the carbon cycle. This carbon will help increase microbial activity in the soil, attracting earthworms and allowing plants to thrive over time.

Coffee grounds are known to be acidic from 4.7-6.2 pH and is very suitable for acid-loving plants as many plants and vegetables, as well as trees, prefer acidic soil including Orchids, Daffodils, Blueberries, Corn, Carrots, Strawberries, Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Camellias, Hydrangeas, Marigolds, Magnolias.
Most orchids prefer slightly acidic fertilizer, a pH of 5.5 to 6.0 is recommended. To lower the pH  you can add citric acid to watering.
