Gardening uses for used coffee grounds - media request #305585

Hello! I'm the managing editor at Grandparents.com, a lifestyle content site for grandparents, covering home & garden, health & wellbeing & more. We get about 800,000 visits a month. I'm doing some fact-checking for a story about used coffee grounds, and I would love to tap the University of Maryland's expertise: Does adding used coffee grounds to the soil really help hydrangeas turn a more vivid blue? How much should you add? And why does it work? Are earthworms attracted to used coffee grounds? How much should you add to the soil? How do earthworms improve garden soil? How to coffee grounds enrich compost? What nutrients do they add? My deadline is Monday, March 14. Thank you!

Fact sheet on Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) #294977

Asked December 30, 2015, 10:30 AM EST

Why does the Fact sheet on Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) Plant description info on top says "Invasive in Minnesota: NO but in the text says Burning Bush can become invasive if not planted with care? I already know of areas were it has become an issue. The plant description should read Invasive in Minnesota: Yes or See Text Below since it can become invasive.

Slug killing solution in a clover lawn #272373

Asked August 25, 2015, 9:51 PM EDT

5Tbsp coffee in a gallon of water is to be sprayed directly on slugs but not on plants, and a weaker solution slows their appetite.  But I am working on growing a white clover lawn to repair the damage from the gadflies (I think).  I am glad to know the clover attracts predator ground beetles, but will the coffee hurt the clover if I use the 2% solution or should I dilute it more with water?  I grow the clover because it attracts the bees for pollination, stays green without prompting, spreads like the dickens, smells nice, and my chickens love it.  I just don't want to kill it with the coffee slug spray.    Slugs and snails love clover but my chickens don't love slugs and snails.  Would the 2% solution be okay for this type of lawn?

using coffee grounds #243915

Asked May 15, 2015, 11:47 AM EDT

Hello,
It is possible to get coffee grounds from Starbucks and a friend suggested that they can be toiled with soil to enrich it and improve the vegetable crop (tomatoes, cucumbers).  Do you recommend that and if so in what amount? Or is the preferred method to compost it first? 
Thanks
