Coffee grounds

Hello all,
My daughter brought me 3 containers of Starbucks coffee grounds with a label stating they are for the garden. Not having any experience with coffee grounds in my gardens I'm looking for directions.

Thanks!
Glenda

I'd be interested in knowing too.. I'm a heavy coffee drinker and have plenty of grounds being thrown away..

I put mine in the compost pile, along with the paper filter.

I heard somewhere that the grounds are good for acidic based plants. I put some around my blueberry bushes but never noticed much of difference as I'm not a big coffee drinker.

when i can get it, i mix it right in with the soil. it works really well on tomatoes. i cant see throwing something that cool away.

I use mine, to feed the worms in my compost pile! I also, use them in a bucket with water...let it steep in the sun. Water your plants with the water! It gives them a boost just like us! LOL
You can also give your houseplants a boost, by taking any leftover coffee, mix with water and water them. My grandma used to do this. She also steeped used tea bags, to water plants with. Always water the ferns & afican violets from the bottom with tea water....another tip from grandma!
