My husband heard it is good to put coffee grounds out and about the yard/grass and gardens. What is your knowledge about any benefit from doing this? Is it a good addition to the gardens and lawn?
Thanks again!

It’s a great way to recycle coffee grounds. It’s good to recycle organic waste. You can also recycle apple peelings and other raw vegetable trimmings, ground up egg shells and tea bags. All of these things add organic matter when added to the soil of your gardens. Organic matter is good for plants. You can also add all of these things to your compost pile where you recycle yard waste like grass clippings and leaves.
