The canteen at my workplace is trying to improve its recycling statistics and so is bagging up the used coffee grounds from the machine and offering this to customers for their garden compost bins. A colleague has said this is not a good idea because the grounds are too acidic. I would appreciate knowing the thoughts of experienced gardeners on this please. I am not particularly wanting to grow acid-loving plants. I have also heard that one should not add citrus peel to the compost bin for the same reason. Does the group agree?
