How to use Coffee grinds

metromix · May 10, 2015

Just getting into winter in Australia so I am thinking of getting beds prepared for my summer tomato crop only 3 months for the early varieties. I have heard that coffee grinds are good for the soil as they have plenty of nitrogen, I have collected a fair bit but cant find how to use it. Do I dig it a handful a square meter or maybe more, just before I plant the seedlings, do I sprinkle it around the plant when planted or do I dig it in now letting the worms feast on them or all of the above
