I usually avoid making assumptions. While I don't think I would invest in
fresh grounds exclusively for this purpose, I doubt if it would cause harm
to apply them as suggested. I usually make one such (heavy) surface
application a year to control grubs and there is no apparent harm to the
plants.

My sense was that the OP had some spent coffee grounds available and wanted
to know if it was okay to use them. This newsgroup gets that question a
dozen or so times each spring. Each time, it is a novice looking to expand
their skills so it's worth answering.

My plants grow best with Jamaican Blue Mountain grounds. But watch out
the decaf stuff will kill quicker than roundup...
