Free coffee at starbucks

[Bob Bone 2]

I was in starbucks yesterday when I noticed there free garden coffee meant for plants and gardening. All the spent coffee is put into bags and given away for nothiing. I took a bag home and added a few handfulls to some brown crumb I had wizzed up and I think its going to work a treat. It smells quite strong and has turned the mix black I'm gonna give it a go at the weekend in a feeder with some corn.

I would be interested to hear how you get on as I work on-board Virgin Trains and discard a lot of used coffee grounds and have never thought of using it as a groundbait additive.

I will probably have to check whether I would be committing a sin by removing it from a train but as it cannot be used for anything else but, hey-ho.

I dont think it even goes in the coffee David, not on the trains ive been on any way!

Yes keep us informed Bob I've never heard of coffee being used either.

I would check to see if it is a pollutant like milk is first though just in case.

seen it used in some of the carp mags - supposed to be pretty good.

 

[Paul H]

Fair enough, I obviously don't read enough, any good for tench do you think? I imagine it would produce a decent cloud which they might like.

i dont know really, i havent tried it.

Give it a go i spose - although it would be a bit expensive if you couldn't get it for free.
