Coffee to Run From!
Edet Nene and Flowers and Coffee.
Last year, whilst visiting Hungary, I learned something new about coffee. Not about taste, but about waste. And, coffee mulch, as Edet Nene explained, is a very useful thing.
To begin with, coffee mulch fertilizes better than any chemical can. Flowers, vegetables, and salads really love the taste of old coffee. Coffee mulch is not only great for good flavour, but beauty as well.
There is, however, much more to mulch than just beauty and taste. Mulch is a great cleaner, too. Edet Nene gladly uses it for cleaning her chopping boards and it works really well. It's the best soap there is and purely organic. After the chopping of onions or the cutting of meat, Edet Nene just rubs coffee mulch into her chopping boards, waits, then removes with a scourer and rinses. Perfect.
Then, there are the drains. Coffee mulch cleans drains much better than anything else. Put mulch down your drains and they'll soon be smelling like freshly picked flowers. Edet Nene knows what she's doing. She understands mulch much better than coffee.
Edet Nene's coffee is weak creamy hot water with a slight taste of coffee. Not very nice. But, her tomatoes and peppers are the best in all Hungary. Coffee mulch is a wonderful thing. It makes a big difference. So, don't throw it away – use it instead.
