I mix them with grass seed and it seems guaranteed to grow grass because the coffee grounds are like starter sod, they retain moisture better than dirt, and the coffee grounds act as a fertilizer of sorts.

I read somewhere that if you have roses use them as fertilizer they grow great roses. Not sure if works. if any one have had experience let us know.

I use them in the garden. I have no green thumb. Then again, I don't drink enough coffee to have enough coffee grounds to make THAT big a difference. Between chickens eating all the broccoli, melon, cucumber and zucchini plants, and the horse traipsing through browsing what she wants, I have a problem growing stuff! I need a FENCE! have a funny day!
Yeah but the grass has trouble going dormant :-)
I use them on my flower gardens, and my veggie garden (especially on my maters and peppers)...they all seem to thrive:)

When I was a kid, we used to set up an elaborate Christmas garden in the basement each year with Lionel train tracks going around a small town, etc. The town had houses, factories, schools, roads, etc. We strung black fishing line between the miniature telephone poles.
We used sawdust that was dyed green for grass. And we used dried, aired-out, coffee grounds to simulate the dirt.
