Why coffee grounds help to combat moss is relatively simple: coffee grounds provide the lawn with important nutrients.

and becomes more resilient.

Fertilize, mow, lime – 24garten.de* knows the right order for lawn care.
To ensure that coffee grounds really work to combat moss in your garden, stick to the following to-do list:
First collect the coffee grounds from your kitchen and let them dry.
Spread the dried coffee grounds on your lawn in spring, summer and fall.
The rule of thumb is: 50 grams per square meter - this amount is sufficient.
Finally, water the lawn well – done!
Coffee only gradually releases its nutrients and thus has an effect over a long period of time.
With this natural home remedy, you can help prevent and minimize moss growth by promoting healthy lawns.
However, to keep the lawn free of moss, you should scarify the lawn once or twice a year.
And you should get to the bottom of the causes of moss in the garden.
