Have you ever heard of putting used coffee grounds in your garden?

Starbucks gives away free bags of used coffee grounds for gardening and I was wondering what the benefits are...it any. Thanks!

Answer:
if you mix it in the dirt, it's really good for roses. i'm not sure why its good, but it's probably from the acid in coffee. i do it about once a month.

Yes! My dad was a landscaper for years and he always used old coffee grounds and eggshells, pretty much any organic waste EXCEPT protein based waste. Coffee grounds are great for acid-loving plants. They're also a wonderful addition to your compost pile!

My Mother told me that the worms love it, and you love worms in the flower garden. Good for the soil. And my Mother was never wrong!

It is a quick spurt of nitrogen until it breaks down into compost is why. Roses do not particularly like acid food; so that would not apply.
