I was in New Paltz, New York, today for some business, and it was freezing cold. Naturally, I stopped at Starbucks and ordered a Frozen Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Refresher! Yes, you read that right—it was freezing cold outside, and I ordered a frozen drink with, brace yourselves, extra ice.
Why, you ask? Well, it’s a low-calorie drink (albeit loaded with sugar), and I happen to like it. Plus, I get a bonus—a sturdy plastic cup perfect for rooting fig cuttings!
As my drink was being prepared, I asked the manager if their store participates in the program that donates coffee grounds to local gardeners. Guess what? They handed me TWO HUGE BAGS of coffee grounds! I couldn’t be happier!
Now, those coffee grounds are spread across the compost heap in the back of our property, doing their part to enrich the soil.
