In its most direct application, adding in coffee grounds to your soil will boost your plants, and give them a jolt of energy to encourage a growth spurt.  Coffee has a ton of nitrogen in it, which is vital to your plants. In addition, adding coffee grounds to your compost bin will enrich the soil, making it even better for your plants.
