Default coffee grounds?

I have a question about coffee grounds. I am a novice gardener and have
been saving my coffee grounds since I hear they can be added to the garden
soil. However, I have heard mixed suggestions on whether they ground should
be moist or kind of dried out. So, I guess I am wondering the ABC's of how
to go about putting the grounds on the garden.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All,
Well, yesterday I turned my compost (first time for everything, I

guess?),
but
it was then I realized that old "Berkely Bob" from the local organic

coffee
shop hooked me up with 10 gallons of organic coffee grounds! Ideally, I

would
have mixed them in during the turning of the compost, but too late now!

So I was wondering, today i'm going to do a final till on my new garden

spot
(well, from last year---I sheet composted TONS of garbage from the local
produce market, and tilled under a couple pickup loads of horse and pig

bedding
to winter over). Can I just broadcast the stuff on the surface and till

it
under? Or would it be a better idea to hang onto it until my next

compost
turning (maybe in a week)?

Thanks,
John


Throw them all over the place. Till, no till - doesnt matter: the worms

will
get to them!
