Thanks for the link Ashleigh – it does shed some light on the subject. Acidity is not a problem and it does offer worms some nice food.
Following reading ‘Organic Matters’ of Charles’s latest book – spent coffee grounds class as an uncomposted organic matter and should therefore not be incorporated ‘as soil nutrients will be used in their decomposition, rather than for growing plants’.
So, I as a novice wonders, is it okay to spread them on the surface (probably during winter?) or is it best to simply add it to compost heaps and let all the magic happen in there?

P.S. Got a beautiful copper trowel for Christmas – family wondered if it was an ornament as opposed to a tool!
