i`m getting ready for my upcomming outdoor grow and for a part of my crop i am going to be planting useing ground soil, and i have always heard that used coffee grinds mixed in is an excellent nutrient. Has anyone here have any experence with this? or even has heard of this? I just want to know about how much to mix in with soil, should i dry the grinds out for a certain ammount of time or whatever. Anyone who could please help me with this or any advice will get get rep.
and BTW the only nutrients i will be useing with this mix is fox farm`s grow big 6-4-4

They are a good source of nitrogen but will take a while to be available, unless their already composted, in the mean time soil is always better off with more organic matter in it, mix in as much as you'd like as long as its not more than, say, 5 pounds or so. How long have you been saving them?

worms love them, they'll eat them and add their castings for free. Starbucks will have big bags of them for pickup if you get them first.
I've used massive amounts in my vege garden so there's no too much level really.
