„If asked where you got your coffee beans, you'd probably say the corner Starbucks or your local grocery store. Rich and fragrant, piles of beans wait in bins for you to pack, grind, and take home (or pack, take home, and grind--whatever your preference). Before arriving on your kitchen counter, though, your coffee beans have passed through the hands of many workers.“

The Fine Art of Composting In Coffee Plantations (INeedCoffee.com)
„Most coffee farms are known for the availability of tons of organic raw material needed for preparation of compost. Poultry litter, sheep droppings, piggery waste, cattle dung, any of the above mentioned products (singly or in combination) are added to fresh leaf litter, weeds, succulent stems, coir pith, press mud, coffee husk in layers. At times, an inoculum of beneficial free-living nitrogen-fixing and phosphorus solubilising bacteria along with strains of Trichoderma and Mycorrhizae are inoculated to the mixture of organic residues so as to hasten the process of decomposition. The entire process of composting is either done by the Pit or the Heap method.“

„After putting in a layer of gravel or broken-up polystyrene trays to improve drainage at the base, fill with compost. Any multi-purpose potting compost will do, including peat-free types, or one specifically formulated for patio pots.“
