Ah, blueberries... I can do that!!vfem said:I feed mine directly to my gardenia, azaleas, blueberries & raspberries... they love me for it!
I did last summer, but this winter, I just was not able to get outside much -could not take a chance of falling and dislocating one of my "porcelean-stainless steel hips- so I just stored them in a container that was easy to get to.sparks said:

No Mary, they really don't. Like Lesa said, all the acid goes into the coffee. But they really are very beneficial to soil so don't be afraid to use them.ninnymary said:
Thistlebloom...you said it doesn't change the ph, what about the above comment?VickiLynn said:
Let's see if I can explain this adequately without having my a.m. coffee(*snik*ninnymary said:Thistlebloom...you said it doesn't change the ph, what about the above comment?VickiLynn said:
Now, I'm confused....

) .Used coffee grounds will show up as slightly acidic on a pH meter, but once added to the soil the process of decomposition will render them close to neutral. This is true of any compost, it will always test close to neutral. So you aren't going to change your soils pH to a lower number by adding coffee grounds, but you definitely will increase the fertility of your soil by adding them. They are a fine soil additive.
I think that just about all seeds are fairly high nitrogen (higher protein - 100% protein is about 16% nitrogen).yubafarm said:
Here's what I don't get, green grass is high in nitrogen, coffee grounds are a good source of nitrogen, but they can be applied to my soil without burning my plants, and yet chicken doo is high in nitrogen, but you don't dare add it until it's been broken down in the compost.digitS' said:
