Hi; do coffee grounds work on other crops bothered by root worms (such as
broccoli)?  I am guessing there might be a difference based on how the
particular plant and the pest react to them.  Also, are we talking used or
fresh grounds?

Thanks to all who continue to answer my many questions; I have acquired
much more usable knowledge from this group than any other I belong to!  I
might have a decent harvest this year!
