Coffee grounds are a source of nitrogen, calcium and magnesium.
Coffee grounds alone are highly acidic. Only spread coffee grounds around acid-loving plants.
Add a cup of agricultural lime to every ten pounds of grounds BEFORE you add them to your compost.
Do not overdo it on flowering plants, as coffee grounds are high in Nitrogen, which makes plants grow big, but can inhibit the numbers of flowers and fruits.
