Worms in far north Queensland are starting to get a daily coffee fix through coffee grinds in their soil.

Mick Kruckow from Eubenangee takes 20 kilograms of used coffee grounds and feeds them to his 120,000 worms to “keep his worms happy,” and keep the grounds out of landfill.

The result has seen an improvement with the farms fertiliser, has doubled organic matter and created greener pastures for the cattle.
