I toss my grounds in an old dishwashing powder tub. When the tub is full,

use it to fill the ruts in the empty field across the road. Is it ok to

use

Coffee grounds are quite acidic. Don't get excited when I say that a higher
than normal acidity level in soil may help ward off some diseases FOR A
SHORT TIME, because in the long run, most of the seeds you grow probably
won't like the pH. Or, maybe in the short run. Just don't do it.
