What would y’all do if you had access to a lot of coffee grounds?

I get about 10 bags like these every week or two from a friends coffee shop. They bring beans up from their family farm in Central America, so they’re really high quality.

Our soil here is quite alkaline so I was looking for free ways of acidifying.

So far I’ve top dressed blueberries and other acid loving plants- but they’re maxed out until the new air layers are rooted

Have also been composting the grounds with grass and leaves, adding them to a brushy hugelmound, and sprinkling them into the regular kitchen scrap compost.

We don’t have a worm farm yet since we travel a lot in summer and don’t want them to die.

Would you add them raw to a potting mix?

Any other ideas?
