Photo of watering with coffee???

I have long used the coffee grounds to enhance my soil. Especially around my acid loving plants, tomatoes, etc. I live in a patio home and my patio was nothing but clay when I moved in five years ago. I have worked on it each year and now have it in perfect condition. I added sphagnum peat each year and always used my coffee grounds. I know of no harm or benefit for the pure left over coffee but do know the grounds add, for lack of a better word, fiber to the ground. Makes it loose and great to grow anything in. I am attaching a picture of my tomatoes this year. Great huh?t
