I read somewhere that coffee grounds were ok to use as fertilizer, so each day i have been pouring my left over coffee down the drain - would it be good to pour on the pumpkin root area to help it grow?

Please comments from anyone

Not the coffee. That's for drinking! Just the grounds & not too much in one place at one time. Fresh uncomposted coffee grounds tend to acidify the soil. The light sprinklings I toss down from Starbucks really jack up the earthworms. Larger quanities are best composted.
