I would need hundred-pound sacks of grounds to help around here... But a great idea on small gardens.

Yep. We only ever ran them twice, though. I guess we were more extravagantI pour them down the sink.
In law school, flat broke, we would reuse coffee grounds. Dump them out of the filter onto a paper towel. Let them dry until the next morning. Put them back in the coffee maker, twice as much as usual per cup, and rebrew.
It can be used a third time at a 3x normal dose, but the flavor is pretty bad.
Things we did when we had no money.
A little off-topic, but I was curious what others do with used coffee grounds after brewing coffee.
I hope that whatever plants you have there like their soil acid.I toss them out into the front beds and let nature take its course.
I use it as a shop hand cleaner too. Not mixed with soap though, just straight out of the coffee filter. It's both the gritty scrub, and the combined moisture and oil remaining in the grounds, that make it great for cleaning. Hands feel great after a scrub too.I added some to my shop soap that I made. You know soap for greasy nasty hands. It works great as an exfoliant and made it a quite scrubby soap.
Single shots and double shot brownies.I'm going to have to start saving mine.
That’s interesting. I wonder if all plants would benefit from this. I use a stovetop Moka and toss the puck in the trash.Compost, the pucks from espresso get placed in the indoor plant’s pots. When we water they eventually break down. We then stir them into the soil.
They are acidic, but not overly so. We have alkaline soil around here so the pucks now get tossed into the garden and eventually get broken down by rain etc.Only plants that like acidic soil. IMHO.
