Coffee Grinds as a fertilizer

Gardeners have been using used coffee grinds in their gardens for years, Starbucks for example,  gives the used grounds away for free.  Now an Australian company is taking it one step further.  Espressogrow  www.espressogrow.com is a sustainable fertilizer that uses waste coffee grounds mixed with a proprietary blend of organic nutrients.  In addition to supplying nitrogen, coffee grounds also act as a deterrent to pests and even cats seem to shy away from them.
With your local Tim Horton's location actually paying someone to haul the used grounds away to a landfill, there may be an opportunity to turn someone else's garbage into your gold.
