  1. How about coffee grinds? I always feel guilty throwing them out.

  2. Jerry,
    Coffee added to your compost pile will add nitrogen. Brewed coffee grounds are best worked into the soil a bit as a conditioner (for areation). Evidentally, worms love this stuff, and will be attracted to it in the soil, that's where you'll get the real benefit!
    Thanks for your post
