fertilizer value of coffee grounds
I tried putting coffee grounds directly on my garden. They floated on top
of the water when I watered and formed piles in the low spots. Then they
got moldy. I don't feel they worked as a mulch or a fertlizer. I do put
them in my worm box composting system and they seem to compost well and
improve the texture of the compost.
