Would putting coffee grounds in the soil of a mint plant help the plant grow faster? Or damage the plant?

If I put two teaspons of coffee grounds in the soil of a mint plant, will it help that plant grow faster or, just as importantly, hinder the plant from growing at a regular rate?

two teaspoons of coffee grounds will not affect the mint plant very much at all....coffee grounds are a good amendment to soil as to cause it to have more air so that the roots can breath better....coffee grounds are also acidic....questions like is the mint plant in the ground or in a pot?...what is the soil acidity where the mint plant is at....mint is also invasive...so it is better to put in large pots so you have lots of fresh mint for teas and whatnot's...but if it is the lawn it will with time...take over
Reply:Mint like Neutral pH to slightly acidic. Used coffee grounds in moderation would be OK. Ah, the dreaded "Beware", for here they be monsters or some such, source I can't quote, sorry.





Mint is invasive, roots easily on the ground, just needs a little damp, prefers high organic material, and once established in the ground takes heavy equipment to remove all the roots. Hey, my shovel and I dug down 4', and out 6' and it came back.





Have lovely chocolate mint in 1 gallon containers (want some?) that overwintered in zone 8 totally neglected.





have fun
