There seemed to be no damage to any of my crops, I'm just trying this out to see if I get similar results with spreading spent coffee grounds around my crops. It will be interesting to see if the aroma of coffee protects my carrots.

Regarding your second comment only use charcoal in its original state, also check the paper speak to see if ignition accellerants have been added. Burned charcoal will do nothing for your soil, it is the absorbency of charcoal which is key to its use for cultivation!!!
