Hi, ZBQ.

I haven't suffered with moles, so I'll pass......Unless, of course, you want to remove all the soil in your beds; lay down hardware cloth, and replace all the soil back. [Didn't think so.]

Two years ago when I started going hog wild for coffee grounds, I worried about the same thing-How much is too much? Well, after hundreds of pounds being added to my beds (fewer sq. ft. than yours), I have not hit that 'too much' level. I also mulch my blueberries, fruit trees, roses, rhodies, bamboo, and annuals with grounds. I use the grounds in my compost piles, too.

At the rate things are going, my beds will be half coffee grounds and half llama pellets by the end of this year. I expect to have bumper crop years starting with this year.

Have fun!

Michael
