Hi Rima;
We put our coffee grounds out in the compost heap, but we have heard
from a NY irisarian, that using the coffee grounds in her garden,
produced an uncommon amount of wire worms. Never had the problem, so
maybe it is regional, but thought I would mention it, since it is your
region.

Molalla, OR, Zone 8, where we go on digest format tonight, for the next
