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

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.

One thing to remember about coffee grounds is that they are acidic. If
your soil is already acidic you may need to add a little lime if you use
a lot of grounds.
