anybody use coffee grounds

[gord]

as a fertilizer for grass or plants? Making a brew or directly on the grass with the coffee grounds is apparently a good fertilizer but I am concerned it may be too acidic.

any body know?

A lot of people use coffee grounds. Starbucks gives them away for free. The acidity has been shown to be neutral (although, I just cant remember where I saw the documentation). Try Cornell University composting.

My Grandma has always used coffee grounds on all of her flowers and veggies, so of course, I do too:) I especially throw them on my tomato plants, and my rosebushes. They seem to really like it:)

My girlfriend and I share bags, huge bags of coffee grinds, that the janitors save for us at work. I put mine directly on my compost pile, and around my azaleas. Everything is thriving. As soon as I put them on my compost pile, it heats up with a day. It's awesome.

I have heard that it kills slugs....I haven't had a chance to confirm by my own experience. Is there anyone that has? Gary Fort Langley, BC Canada PS: I use coffee grounds all the time in my compost...not sure what it really does there but it is definitely compostable. And the worms (my buddies) seem to like it.
