I was just sitting here thinking that coffee grounds are a good source of
nitrogen. At least that is what I have read and believe. So then the
question arises in my mind...how/when/what/why? Or is it where? No, I
think-Why?
Is it a good source of nitrogen before or after the cup?
Is it a good source of nitrogen composted?
Will I get a good supply of nitrogen by throwing it on my garden?
Who says coffee is a good source of nitrogen?
Any ideas out there?

I cant answer any of your questions, but I have used it on my garden. I do
know that if you put it on too thick, it gets moldy. I also know that earth
worms and night crawlers love it (I have kept them alive over the winter in
my frig by adding 1/2 teaspoon to the pint worm container every 3rd day.

I have been told that it lowers your pH of the soil, but I think you would
have to add a lot to accomplish that. In some areas you may not want to
lower the pH.

I would let it dry out and then sprinkle it onto the garden area, or you
could save a lot of it and add it in the spring when you are preparing the
soil for planting.

Let us know.
