They will help turn alkaline soil more acidic. Earthworms love them, and you can even use diluted coffee to water your plants. Ground coffee is high in nitrogen, making it a very good mulch for fast-growing vegetables. Many organic growers swear by coffee grounds as mulches for tomato plants, both for the nitrogen boost this heavy feeder appreciates and for coffee's ability to help suppress late blight. Coffee-ground mulch also can help reduce the ravages of slugs and snails. If you need mass quantities of grounds, visit your local coffee shop to see if they will save them for you.
