I do a large amount of container gardening, in LARGE containers. I have an excellent source of coffee grounds. I would like to use these coffee gounds in the large containers to partially fill them. My questions:

Should I use the coffee grounds straight, as is?

Would it be better to mix them with soil, and in what proportions?

Would it be better to mix them with soil, vermiculite, peat moss, sand, Perlite and/or Vermiculite and in what proportions?

Any answers would be appreciated, even if different than I have suggested.

All containers would use only enough coffee grounds mix to half fill them, and the balance of the space would be my regular soil mix of soil, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, and sand. My soil mix has proven satisfactory in past years.

PLEASE put only the word "gobblygook" in the subject area of your e-mail to me or else your e-mail to me will end up in the junk pile and unanswerable. THANK YOU !
