Coffee grounds should be added to the compost pile, not directly put in the garden. Grounds don't reduce pH (acids leach out in the brewing) or provide a miracle boost to plants. Also, when added on top of soil directly instead of composting first, grounds usually grow fungus and can actually repel water.
