It's a brown. Compost before digging in.

It's light and fluffy, so try to pick a day that's not very windy or lots will blow away.

I have no idea as to the nutrient content of the chaffe, but I would guess it's a bit like using leaves. I have added a few bags to my garden beds, but I rarely am near the coffee shop that has them.

That is organic matter and all organic matter, or most all anyway, is good for the soil. Use it as a mulch, compost it, but whether to use it as a soil amendment (something you work into the soil) is something I know nothing about.
That test for Nitrogen may or may not be of any use because Nitrogen availability is dependant on soil temperature and how active your Soil Food Web is. Because of that few soil test labs will test for N today. What that test might reveal also depends on the age of the reagent, but since these types of soil tests are very unreliable they are not something you should rely on.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm thinking it'll be a good amendment, too. It's really light stuff, so yes I'll have to till itin, or cover it with something or it will blow away.

Our soil looks great, black actually, and grew a good garden last year, except for the corn. Corn was really stunted, and by the time I realized it wasn't growing fast enough, the added manure didn't help, so I bought the home test kit. I guess this year I'll splurge for the testing, I understnad it comes with recommendations for soil improvements too so that will help. We canned for the first time last year & we really enjoyed both the canning & home grown veggies throughout the winter!

Send your test in soon or you will be added to the stack of requests.

From growing up on a farm corn is given nitrogen when it is planted.

I haven't used it but from what I've read, it's high in carbon, so if you plan ti till it, you'll want to add something with nitrogen to help it decompose.

I sure will! I didn't think they'd be backlogged, thanks for the headsup.

Hmm, I'll add some coffee ground to the coffee chaffe...
boy my garden is going to produce for us this year!

Gardeners wait until the last minute to have their soil checked. In my area March 15 on. When I tried to have it done before I planted it was min 6 weeks before the results of the test would be back.
