TeresaJ25	Posted - Nov 13 2013 : 08:24:09 AM Does anyone know if I can add flavored coffee grinds to my compost? I put my husband's regular coffee grinds in the compost, but I am so hesitant to add flavored! Its not that I think anything BAD will happen, I would just prefer my compost to be as natural as possible! Any thoughts?

IdahoShamrock	Posted - Dec 01 2013 : 6:24:38 PM Haha...french vanilla strawberries! I think it is just fine to use flavored grounds. I pick up grounds from our local coffee house during the winter. I like to use the grounds on the paths in my garden. It looks neat and smells good. Farmgirl #2125 www.dustbincards.etsy.com

Chatty Wren	Posted - Nov 17 2013 : 1:59:15 PM Teresa, coffee grounds are great for compost. Some gardeners even add it directly to the garden as a mulch because it takes some time to break down. Flavored grounds are probably fine but you may have mocha flavored tomatoes in the summer! :D Blessings~Diane http://abbyhannahvintage.com

TeresaJ25	Posted - Nov 14 2013 : 11:31:39 AM I use a mocha blend (Which my DH says is NOT coffee if it is flavored!! ), I didn't know if there was sugar added to it, and if there is, is sugar okay for compost? ~Teresa Farmgirl Sister #1348 Little Henhouse on the Island Keep reading.
