Only if you're dumping fresh grounds directly onto the plants. Used grounds that have been composted are generally regarded as quite beneficial.

- wayanon 8y agowhoops that's what I've been doing past few weeks...
- dpark 8y agoUsed grounds are probably fine if that's what you've been doing. Actual fresh grounds that have not been used to brew coffee are not a great idea.
- reaperducer 8y agoInteresting. My grandmother used to dump her coffee grounds on her roses almost every day. She swore it was what made them so big. A lot of Starbucks stores will give you grounds for free for use in your garden. I don't know if they recommend composting first or not. My guess is they don't care.
- dpark 8y agoUsed grounds != fresh grounds. :) Used, composted grounds are definitely good. Used grounds add biological material to the soil as well and lots of people have good success with that from what I understand.
