What are the pros & cons of using coffee grounds in my veggie garden. I have read that grounds may be too acidic and can do more harm than good. Another posted supported the use. Wondering if you could help settle this debate. I am in zone 3.

Expert Response
In moderation coffee grounds can be helpful in building up soil. If you have a compost pile I would also recommend you add them to it. Coffee grounds will not adjust the pH of the soil. Below is a link that addresses this.
