I toss my grounds in an old dishwashing powder tub. When the tub is full, I
use it to fill the ruts in the empty field across the road. Is it ok to use

Yes.

"Roasted coffee is fairly acidic, but it appears that
almost all of the acid is water soluble and is extracted
during brewing. Used grounds have essentially neutral pH,
although the coffee beverage produced is rather acidic."


Personally, I've used coffee grounds as both compost
and direct soil amendment. It works well either way.
