I would guess it about 10-15 pounds of grounds a day. I have a large garden that i have add wood ash, compost, horse manure and fresh coffee grounds. I will see what happens this year.

I tried it last year and I did have some big beautiful blooms, whereas it didn't bloom the year before. So, I'll be doing it again this year!

I haven't tried it on any garden vegetables yet, but will this season. The grinds are high in nitrogen, so they act like a slow-release fertilizer.
