There was a long, detailed article today in Dave's Garden
about using
coffee grounds to feed one's plants.

Anybody have extensive experience with this? Mine is
limited to
dumping the grounds on Friday (when I make coffee for the
gardener)
on nearby plants, mostly the two side-door plants, Azalea
and Hebe,
as well as Roses in m rose path.

My question now relates to long-term, systematic use of
coffee grounds
on roses. I can pick up grounds from coffee shops (as
mentioned in
Dave's Garden article), but am looking for your real-world
experience.

I live in So. Calif coastal. Soil is/was alkaline (adobe)
but has been
modified over many years by me and previous owner, so I
think it's
neutral (but should verify just for info).

So, if you're into coffee mulching, would you pls share
your
experience.

All my coffee grounds go directly into my gardens where I
till
them in. Worms love the grounds and so that's a second
bonus.
