I put as many as I could get in my patch, the worms love it. Richard Brouillard (America, family left France in 1645)

Coffee grounds are very good for the patch. I put several inches on each fall and till it in. Like Richard said, the worms love it, plus it really gives your soil a good texture. Smell isn't too bad, either. It's a very good source of sterile organic matter. It's nutirent value is minimal, but I think it contributes well to an overall fertilizing program. I copied and pasted the nutrient information directly from the Starbuck's website---


Primary Nutrients
Nitrogen         1.45%
Phosphorus         ND ug/g
Potassium         1204 ug/g
Secondary Nutrients
Calcium         389 ug/g
Magnesium         448 ug/g
Sulfur         high ug/g
