coffee grounds



Hi,

On the coffee grounds issue‹I have done a bit of this in small trials 
myself. Here in Minnesota, I experienced increase growth of bacteria 
in the soil (like a green fungus cover) that was not advantageous to 
the plants. Coffee grounds are supposed to act like peat moss and keep 
moisture in the soil. My experience was the opposite, it dure moisture 
from the plants.

Perhaps a coffee "tea" like a "manure tea" would be better. Also, I 
think composting with other organic matter would be advantageous.

Please tell your gardener to start out in a test patch before 
potentially ruining an entire year's crop.
