Do love mixing coffee grounds (used!) in my soil.I had the bright idea to use coffee grounds to grow in. Added coco and perlite and grew a clone in it. It grew, slowly. It was stunted and eventually I trashed it. It was an experiment. They add coffee grounds to soil, but as with anything too much is too much. I am interested in how yours will work out, but I had a hard time believing a three day old dropping would be dry enough to grow in. In the end they really seem dried enough, doubt there is a infestation risk with them. I can not see buying enough of the little boxes to fill a 2 gallon pot and growing a full sized pot. Or maybe they are cheap where you are. Looked up Manitoba and manure. I only skimmed it, there is some sections on dried manure.
Sometimes I’ll water down a little fresh hot coffee and add it to whatever I’m using in my pump sprayer if it doesn’t already have nitrogen and the plants seem they could use a little. If just coffee and extra water I’ll even give them a little foliar spray. Smells like coffee but they don’t seem to mind, and it helps warm the water a little.
