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

A useful property of coffee ground mulch is that it is anti-gastropod.
So my coffee grounds go around my Lapageria rosea, which is otherwise
the favourite food in the garden for the local snails.





So it would be a good thing for my hostas too!

I have been using it as a general mulch in the garden when I can find it at
Charbucks - I'm not shy, I'll just walk in and nab it!


I've heard it works as a sand/sub for icy driving, but I haven't tried it
yet!
