What’s the best way to use coffee grounds in the garden?

I hit a mother lode of coffee grounds at the camp we’re at for the week.

Roses and Geraniums love coffee grounds, so sprinkle some around them.

You can make a facial scrub with them, though I’ve never tried:

I have a friend who makes soap and she adds them to her super-scrubbing bars.

You could use some when you make compost tea, and they’re a great addition to your compost pile, but, of course, layer them with greens and other browns and give your compost pile some water if you hit a dry spell.

If you keep a worm bin, worms love coffee grounds.

We put all our coffee grounds in our compost pile. Great for compost . I would not put them directly on the garden.
