Coffee bad for gardens

FILMNET · February 25, 2012

I have been reading here about coffee in my garden , Last year i put Starbucks coffee grinds 12-30 lbs on my dirt . I did this early winter, and some of my plants where i dumped the coffee were really small. I left the coffee because the ground was frozen was only in dirt for 1/2 on my garden. On this half I had 6 small plants all summer??? could the coffee be bad for these plants? And this year i only putting coffee grinds we use in my Compost. ??? they were wet when i got them 203 bags total. My garden is the bottom of a barn with horses taken down after 1905, My wife's great great grandfather never bought a car. Horses carriages only till he died
