Let your coffee habit feed your garden, Coffee grounds provide a valuable source of
nutrition for the garden, if used properly, in the amount that is right for the condition of the soil and what is growing.
TIPS:
 Add directly as a side for you veggies, roses, and other plants. The grounds are high nitrogen, but are acidic; adding brown material such as leaves and dried grass will keep a balanced soil PH
Add to potting soil used for houseplants or new vegetable and flower beds.
Check out your local coffee shop or resturant for additional grounds. You can add it to your compost pile as they add heat and  carbon-nitrogen ratio  (CN) of 20-1
