Interesting. My grandmother used to dump her coffee grounds on her roses almost every day. She swore it was what made them so big.

A lot of Starbucks stores will give you grounds for free for use in your garden. I don't know if they recommend composting first or not. My guess is they don't care.

Used grounds != fresh grounds. :)

Used, composted grounds are definitely good. Used grounds add biological material to the soil as well and lots of people have good success with that from what I understand.
