A local coffee house gives away free used grinds. How should I used
them?

I'm not 100% certain, but I'm suspicious about using with corn, whether composted
or direct. My corn was really stunted last year -- with small but direct application
to the soil; and less stunted this year with some that had been composted.

Hopefully next year's garden will demonstrate whether this was due to the coffee
or some other unintended circumstance.
