coffee grounds just add nitrogen and nutrients and makes soil hold moisture more, it does get mold, so i use cinnamon in the mix with coffee grounds. For the most part, coffee grounds are a snail/slug killer/ it somehow makes them sick and die, that is why I use it out side all the time. It ammends the hard clay, too.
Another DG'r turned me on to the ammonia/windex spray, and Kens Mix on the brug forum has it's good qualities, except I don't drink beer much so I buy the cheapest large lager I can find, use half of it and make red beers out of the rest.
I don't have a lot of money to buy stuff for my gardens, so I recycle a lot and save many annuals over winter. it is just a cheap part of me I think.
