Storing Recycled Coffee Grounds
Accumulate
coffee for fertilizer by saving spent coffee grounds. The best way to save the coffee is to turn
the grounds from coffee filter over onto a paper towel and air dry.
When the coffee grounds are dry; put the grounds into an air tight container
and store in a cool dry place. 
Fertilize with Coffee
Nourish your acid loving flowers with coffee grounds by scooping handfuls of the dry coffee and then spreading the coffee grounds around your acid loving plants, flowering shrubs and evergreens.
Water after you fertilize with coffee as the water will help in breaking down the nutrients so that they get to the plants roots.
Amend garden soil with Coffee
Get a new garden bed ready by amending the soil with the recycled coffee grounds.
Ready the gardens by removing the grass; weeds, rock and other debris then use your tiller to break up eight inches of the top soil. Work the clumps out of the soil until it is a fine texture then amend with the coffee grounds.
Water the new garden bed lightly. The water will allow the nutrients found in coffee to slowly release into the soil.
Feed your Lawn with Coffee
Another way to recycle coffee is to fertilize your lawn. Add dry coffee grounds to your broadcaster and spread the coffee evenly on your lawn, then water the grass. Your grass will green up fast and will grow in as a lush lawn.
