as a fertilizer for grass or plants? Making a brew or directly on the grass
with the coffee grounds is apparently a good fertilizer but I am concerned
it may be too acidic.

any body know?

A lot of people use coffee grounds. Starbucks gives them away for free. The
acidity has been shown to be neutral (although, I just cant remember where I
saw the documentation). Try Cornell University composting.

My Grandma has always used coffee grounds on all of her flowers and veggies,
so of course, I do too I especially throw them on my tomato plants, and my
rosebushes. They seem to really like it

My girlfriend and I share bags, huge bags of coffee grinds, that the

around my azaleas. Everything is thriving. As soon as I put them on my
compost pile, it heats up with a day. It's awesome.

I have heard that it kills slugs....I haven't had a chance to confirm by my
own experience. Is there anyone that has?

PS: I use coffee grounds all the time in my compost...not sure what it
really does there but it is definitely compostable. And the worms (my
buddies) seem to like it.

My tomatoes think I am the coffee ground godess because when ever I
am near them I'm dumping a load of coffee grounds at their feet
