Evo, Please re-check your chemistry. You have it backwards. Acidic means low pH, not high. A pH of 7 is neutral; acid is a pH less than 7, and alkaline is a pH greater than 7. yes, correct, i dont know why i put high PH, i meant to put high Acidity.. coffee grounds and coffee are fairly acidic, and using grounds in the garden around berries and certain shrubs increases the acidity for those type of plants... increase it on the wrong plants, and they, will stunt, or die... it can also increase soil temperature ( both plants, and worm buckets), because its also high in nitrogen, which worms do like, but, too much, and you will kill the worms.... obviously plastics are moot... if anyone needs grounds, you can go to Starbucks and ask them, its where i have gotten mine when needed.... _________________________ BLM IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION ANTIFA IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
