Como USAR BORRA de CAFÉ na ADUBACÃO das PLANTAS

SUBSCRIBE TO MY GARDEN: https://cursosminhasplantas.com.br/cafe Can you use coffee grounds on any plant? Yes, many gardeners use coffee grounds as fertilizer. It's a smart way to reuse organic material, but the amount of nutrients the product provides to the plant is very small. Our gardener Carol Costa shows an even better way to use coffee grounds to give your greens a boost. Using raw coffee grounds provides a very small dose of nitrogen to the soil. It works well with coffee filtered through a cloth or paper filter, an espresso machine or capsules, sweetened or black, an electric coffee maker, a French or Italian press, sweetened or unsweetened. What you need to know is that grounds are a moist material, so it's good to understand whether the plant likes moisture in the soil. Avoid using them on succulents or cacti, for example. If you have protective straws, don't forget to move them aside, spread the coffee grounds, and then cover them again with the dry material. The smartest way to use coffee grounds is to store them in a dark place, and within a few weeks, microscopic creatures will emerge. Mold and bacteria will begin to form cultures on this material, and many of these creatures are beneficial to the soil. In addition to that gray and dark mold, you'll notice more colorful ones emerging: pink, green, blue, and yellow molds are formed by the fungi and bacteria we want! These creatures feed on sugars, which is exactly what many plants produce. When a plant overproduces these sugars and the soil is poor in microorganisms, they accumulate and end up attracting pests. The trick is to increase microscopic life in the substrate and allow these creatures to carry out their beneficial cycle. After about six months of coffee grounds in the dark and you notice that colorful molds have appeared, you can offer this living material in two ways: the first and easiest is by mixing the coffee grounds directly into the substrate, a very good way when you're planting. The second way is to make a type of syrup. Add four cups of these coffee grounds with the colorful fungi to a bottle of approximately one liter, add a cup of organic sugar, and fill with water, almost to the brim. Mix and cap, opening the bottle a few times a day. The fungi will begin to feed on the sugars, and the colony will grow. It's important to use unrefined sugar, because the whiter sugar undergoes a chemical treatment to achieve a very white color, and the fungi are extremely sensitive to any chemical—even the ones found in refined sugar.
