Looking for the secret to a thriving garden? Look no further than Gardener's Gold! This recycled coffee chaff is the missing ingredient your plants have been craving.
But what exactly is it? It’s the unsung hero of our much loved cup of coffee. Coffee chaff is the thin flakey layer around coffee beans that’s shed during the roasting process. It’s a natural byproduct which is usually discarded, but it’s surprisingly rich in nutrients and makes for a valuable supplement for your garden!
Ours here is saved from our friends at Carvetti Coffee who also supply our hessian sacks. We hate waste and we love gardening, so we thought - why not put this stuff to good use?
Why do gardeners love coffee chaff?
So why do gardeners love coffee chaff so much? For starters, it's packed with nitrogen, one of the essential nutrients plants need to thrive. This nitrogen-rich material creates an excellent natural fertiliser for gardens and flower beds.
The green thumbs among us will know about coffee fertiliser, and you’ve probably heard all the rave about coffee grounds… But coffee chaff is even better! It’s more eco-friendly because it breaks down a lot faster, plus its light, fluffy texture adds organic bulk and aeration to the soil. This helps retain moisture while allowing oxygen to reach plant roots.
Don’t be fooled by its deceiving light weight, though - a little goes a long way!
How to use coffee chaff in your garden
Recycled coffee chaff like our Gardeners’ Gold is an affordable alternative to your expensive chemical-based soil supplements. You’ll love it and we know your plants will too.
Like any natural fertiliser, use sparingly with your plants and remember that a little goes a long way. You can create a nutritious mulch, soil conditioner, compost activator and much more. Here’s a few suggestions on how you can use it:
Mix into potting soil when repotting to give an immediate nitrogen boost.
Sprinkle onto flower beds before mulching to enrich the soil and fill gaps.
Add to your garden composter to speed up decomposition and produce a richer compost.
Scatter around your fruits and vegetables to fend off garden pests and feed plants with each watering.
While Gardeners’ Gold makes an excellent garden supplement, that’s not all it’s good for. This versatile coffee chaff can also be used as natural bedding for pets and animals like chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs. It works well as a biodegradable litter for composting toilets too!

At the core of Chimney Sheep is our Community Interest Company, Buy Land Plant Trees (BLPT). For every purchase you make with us, 20% of the profit facilitates the planting of trees on agriculturally poor land in Cumbria.
We set up BLPT in 2019 as a ‘boots on the ground’ tree planting initiative. The company is run by us and the tree planting is done by us. We do it to help you and us to reduce our impact on the planet. The trees we plant reduce CO2 output as well as contribute to the reduction of flooding and the creation of habitats for wildlife.
BLPT isn’t a tick box exercise nor a distant and detached carbon offset company. In fact, this is as much part of our business as the products we sell and is an integral part of our ethos. We are big believers in the phrase ‘think globally, act locally’ and want to make a genuine difference
A Chimney Sheep® draught excluder is a brilliant tool for any property with an open chimney. But don’t just take our word for it...

Eco Friendly Weed Control
I bought this as I wanted a non-plastic weed suppressant to use under stones and bark and this is ideal as it can be bought by the metre rather than having to buy far more than I need (though it does make it more expensive per metre). It is easy to use and I'm really pleased that it is a natural material with no plastic. I'm wondering how long it will last before it needs replacing, but for now, I'm really pleased with my purchase.
I ordered two of the 10kg...in error! There's a massive amount of wool in each bag and, to my mind, it's quite clean. It's very thick and has a high amount of lanolin in it, a good sign.
I placed it around my runner beans and French climbing beans. The wool provides support when it's windy. Round the tomatoes, the courgettes and...the potatoes. They thrive on it.
Important: the will deters slugs etc, but my advice is that it's essential to keep the wool moist. Not sodden, as the wool is superb at preventing the soil drying out.
Well worth it.
Delivery box was a bit battered on arrival so feared for the pots, but the sheep's wool had kept them safe. Brilliant non plastic option to keep seedlings watered without wasting water and the wool works to keep slugs at bay.
Bought these as the fluffy inside lining of my slippers had worn down to the rubber! I hate waste and didn’t want to throw them away as they were in otherwise good condition, so I bought these and popped them in and now I have warm and comfy insides to my slippers again - Hurrah!! Slipper life extended and waste reduced. Very glad to have found this company 😊.
We have an open fire that is only used a few times a year but don't want to decommission it.
When not in use there is a noticeable draft that comes down the chimney this includes the smell from our neighbours log burner when the wind blows the wrong way.
Enter stage left the Chimney Sheep. I measured up the chimney aperture and placed my order. Despite Royal Mails best efforts it arrived well packed and in good order.
It's a neat product and having attached the handle shoved it up the chimney. Perfect fit. Can't be that easy surely? Yep.
There is a fob that attaches to the handle that dangles down from the chimney so that you are reminded that the Chimney Sheep is in situ before lighting a fire.
I can't comment on the draught excluding properties yet as the weather has been glorious since I got it, but I see no reason it won't be effective. I no longer have to listen to the pigeons serenading each other though.
My first purchase of three ply…I will buy more….this is good stuff….does the job….soft enough…AND made in uk from uk waste paper…this is important if you are thinking green….no point buying recycled paper which has been round the world and back. We have loads of waste paper to use in the uk and loads of uk bottoms to wipe 😂
Amazing felt, thick and really good quality. Worked amazing by for my art project. I love both the colour and the texture! Excellent delivery and costumer service.
