I left several bags of uncomposted Starbucks coffee grounds
unopened for
several months. I opened them up to use as mulch and found they
were
full of white wiggling things. I spread the mulch anyway.

Having subsequently read about white wiggling things which were
bad
news in gardens, have I unleashed a Pandora's box full of them
into tbe
garden?

I am totally ignorant of what this is about. What is "Starbucks
coffee
grounds"?
Is it commercially available as a mulching material?
Is it cheaper than bark and suchlike?

Franz,

Starbucks is the name of a make of coffee. The grounds are what is
left after making fresh coffee. The grounds are very good for putting
round roses, rhododendrons, azaleas, etc.

No idea what the white wiggling things are though :-)
