asat Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Some people use dried out used filter coffee as well ok thanks mate wort a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 i use a mix of old coffee and compost, the compost gives it body and depth, the coffee drags out onto the tracks like the mud would in real life, if you go into a starbucks they used to give the used stuff away for free in foil bags, but i have not seen that recently in my local one, so they may have stopped it???
