Ok I know there has been alot posted on this. I tried looking through the archives but am too lazy to look through pages and pages to find my specific answers.

Ok so I had my neighbor save his coffee grounds for me to use in my garden cause I don't drink it. I'm wondering..are there curtain plants you shouldn't use the grounds on because of the acidity in the grounds? I still have oyster shell in my soil from last year so maybe coffee grounds isn't a good idea?

Hi again I know coffee is great for acid loving plants like azalea, rhododendrons, hydrangeas (if ya want them blue)...and the compost heap I'm sure there are plants ya shouldn't use too much of it around, but I couldn't begin to tell you which ones. Whaddya have?

This is the list of things I have growing in my backyard.
