How about it? Just dug a bed and thought I'd load it
with coffee grounds. The lawn too. Been saving them
for years. How much is over doing it? Dan


If they were saved damp or wet in a sealed container, there may boogers
in
there you don't want in the soil.

can you explain in more detail what you mean Jonny?

Anaerobic bacteria makes poisons (chemicals). These can be absorbed by
edible plants and passed on to whatever or whomever consumes these. One
commonly recognized is trichinosis occurring on flesh in a sealed container.
The bacteria itself isn't the problem, its what it produces.

Can't happen in an open storage container, or a sealed container lacking
moisture. Can't happen viably in the soil.
