Has anyone ever picked up coffee grounds from Starbucks or other local coffee shops?
I have a fire ant infestation in my compost pile... apparently it wasn't cooking as well as it should have lately and they moved in. I've read where a considerable load of coffee grounds will run them off.... of course I'll have to rebalance the ratios of the pile afterwards.

If I had a heat mat, I'd use it for peppers. I've never had any trouble with any other seeds germinating.

What is your ratios? I have a barrel composter but would like to get a larger compost pile going.

Water and stir the pile frequently and that should keep the ant problem down. They’ll move on. They help break down the stuff in your compost, so they aren’t all bad. But you definitely don’t want an infestation.

I discussed it with a shop, but they want a daily commitment which I can’t do
