What is the best way to use spent coffee grounds in my garden? It is
made up of mostly sun-loving perennials.

Go to your nearest swimming pool supply store and purchase a gallon of
muriatic acid. Pour your coffee grounds into a mixing bowl and add the
muriatic acid slowly, mixing as you go. Continue until you have a thick
paste, about the consistency of Elmer's Glue. Apply four tablespoons of
this mixture around each annual or perennial in your garden. For large
perennials such as hosta, you may wish to double the dose.

Any left over muriatic acid makes a great tooth paste when combined with
baking soda.
