I’d like to do a ph test of that compost. Coffee has a ph of about 5.0. Thats acidic. Plants do best about 6.0-7.0. Once you establish what coffee grounds and cardboard makes in the ph, you can add something like baking soda or lime to get it in the right range. If the ph of that soil is 5.0 the plants won’t uptake the nutrients in the soil. Ph is important. Why not just use shredded cardboard and grass clippings? Throw in some kitchen produce scraps. If cardboard is too labor intensive, you can always use shredded leaves. Its become popular for coffee drinkers to add a couple pinches of baking soda to their coffee. It makes the taste smoother and helps people with acid stomach drink their coffee and avoid acid reflux.

I like that composter ...my Great Aunt had a (I forgot what they call it)...chopper digester in her sink ..which helped start degrating material .. and then at end of her garden ...she kept it all in a chicken wire holding encloser....was very very wormy and oxygenated.

Its a good idea to have at least five different ingredients. This is as per the Berkeley method. It gives more variety of nutients. That looks so pretty.

Used coffee grounds have a NPK ratio of 2.1:0.3:0.3, which means they are nitrogen-rich and contain 2% nitrogen, 0.06% phosphorus, 0.6% potassium, and micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, boron, copper, iron, and zinc that benefit plants by encouraging healthy growth. Where I am, you have to be LUCKY to find used coffee grounds. Seems a lot of people want them. Oh and coffee grounds can act as a cat repellent. Worms love coffee grounds. Unfortunately so do grub worms.

There are 2 things I don"t like about Lifetime guarentees 1. The company isn't around anymore. 2. The Lifetime is a tricky word.. Lifetime of What? lifetime of the Unit might be far less than what you think..as in your lifetime. Example car shocks lifetime guarantee..( in fact is the life time of a shock prob 35000 miles) not as long as you own your car or you expire.

My primary materials are a decade's worth of pinecones and needles, other yard waste including limited grass and leaves when available, cardboard and various paper, and food waste from two people. I run everything but the food scraps through an electric chipper/shredder twice before starting the composting process. The cardboard and paper come out larger than the shred you use but the coin-sized pieces are soft and fluffy to the touch. The pinecones and needle come out fine, almost powdery. Any suggestions on how to best process these ingredients?

Pete, it's 2023 now. are you still spreading the coffee grounds on the lawn? I'm wondering if the height of your lawn/soil level has increased dramatically? I noticed my lawn bumped up higher than both neighbors after 2 fall applications of .25" each of topdressing... which i didn't expect. There's a noticeable "lipx when crossing over the property line. I gotta believe yours is much higher if you've been consistently adding material. Hope to hear from you. I'm seriously considering asking the local Rutters for all their coffee grounds as it appears to not harm the grass based on yt searches. Thx
