Default Spent hops

I recently contacted my local brewery to ask what they did with their spent
hops. To my delight they said that they usually just throw them out into
the bin. I asked if they would have any objections to me calling and
collecting them for use in my compost and also as a mulch/soil improver and
they were only too pleased to see them being re-used. I called last night
and there were five large bags waiting for me.

Has anyone on here had any experience of using spent hops on their garden?
