coffee grounds are good for earthworms, spread them in your veggie garden

We put our coffee grounds in our compost bins.
May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!

Used coffee grounds on and around the base of rose bushes increases the acidity of the soil. .

No vegetable garden. No composting. I do have a flower box that looks like [censored]. Last time I try growing flowers from seed.  This is my place at Falcon.

Is there a chance coffee grounds make nightcrawlers rise so you can snatch them up for fishing?
...?

I fling the ashes in the yard. You just have to water afterward to keep the dog from tracking them back in. Never done the coffee grounds, but I may start.

depending on your PH levels --- rototill into your soils in fall along with other compost -- great for potatoes

Coffee grounds are great for the soil.
Lump charcoal ash should be fine.
Briquette ash may have fillers that wouldn’t be good for the lawn.

Hmmm… it’s a mixture of lump and briquettes. I guess I’ll throw it across the street and see what it does to the weeds over there.
