I have been doing this for years but on a much smaller scale. After reading this article I am ready to hit the first coffee house I can find to advance to grand scale coffee composter. Thanks for the tip.

You're very welcome, Trecia! Thanks for the feedback. Caution -- gathering coffee grounds can be even more addictive than the caffeine in the coffee made from the grounds. LOL You just reminded me -- this is another one of those times when I loaded up the trunk of Christina's Mustang with (literally) about 50 lbs of coffee grounds from Starbuck's and I have forgotten them for over a week now. Fortunately, the cool weather we're having here has kept the odors of the coffee grounds composting in the trunk to a minimum. I will try to remember to unload the auto trunk tomorrow and give my azaleas another treat.

Jeremy
