Dig them into soil my husband uses them all the time he grows veg all year some flowers x

Answer 2

My parents use ground coffee after they made coffee they sprinkles it in the pots of all plants also all over the garden borders . nothing has been killed yet . They've been doing it for years  

Answer 3

They can burn foliage. Dig in well and dont sprinkle directly onto plants in my experience.  

Answer 4

Lovely sprinkled over the beds smell great when watering summer evenings

Also, they are a fox deterrent, put them round the fence where they come in.  

Answer 6
