I've been doing some work for a local coffee shop , and have been offered
as much used coffee grounds as I'd care to drag home ...I've read
somewhere that they make excellent worm food and can be used as a
fertilizer on my garden , but I have no idea how much is enough , and how
much would be too much .
So , is there a rule of thumb or any kind of guide for this application ?
When we were kids we used a 5 gal bucket buried about 3/4 in the ground
and filled with burlap sacking as a worm farm . We used Dad's grounds as
food , got some very healthy and active worms , and had repeat business
from the local fisherfolk ...

There's not really a rule of thumb. You need to keep your ph though.
Well, I read somewhere that blueberries love coffee grounds. But Id
compost them first. Or if you get like a half truckload or something. I
might mix them up with lime and put them in the garden.
And worm farms might work, but I thought everyone was using newspaper for
worm farms.
My blueberries and potatoes thrive on fresh coffee grounds.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.
Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And itıs not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. Thatıs hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they donıt get away with no taxation.
