Here in Seattle, many of our Evil Empire Starbucks will leave grounds outside somewhere where people can come buy and pick them up for gardening. They can make soil very acidic, though, so you should careful if using a lot of them.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-10169">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Great post!

Coffee grounds make up a significant part of my household compost. It does seem to perk up the plants. A note about those filters, though: In places like the southeastern US where termites are plentiful, those paper coffee filters (and tea bags) may attract unwanted termites to one's compost. A permanent metal mesh coffee filter (and loose-leaf tea) is one way around that.
