I meant that WORMS like to consume coffee grounds. Coffee grounds, in my
humble opinion, would have a completely neutral effect on your soil.

Are coffee grounds REALLY beneficial for growing the biggies? We use a lot
of compost, but I would worry that there are "things" (chemicals) in the
grounds which would not make pumkins too happy. We have a sstarbucks next
door and probably could get LOTS.
Thanks, Peter
