My cousin works for Starbucks and tells me he has a regular bassis of customers that pick up their used coffee grounds for planting. Is there any sense to this.....is it some sort of fertilizer, and does it actually contain valuable nutrients?

He tells me they come in all the time carying out bags of the stuff......

Yes sir! Coffe grounds conatain 2N 0.3P 0.2K Its highly acidic however, and is best used in alkaline soils : ) Good luck buddy

Wow, I woulda never guessed! Guess I'll try a little and see the response.

Coffee grounds are best used in a compost pile. worms love it and the high N helps break down the Carbon in the pile into good soil.

true, day.

Growing up my parents always took thier grounds saved them and then tilled them into the outside garden soil.It gave the soil a boost attracted worms who aerated the soil and left casting enriiching the entire soil.Inside you d have to monitor the ph more though and you reap less benefits.
