I use egg shells and banana peels for my roses. Crush the egg shells up when they dry and cut the bananas peels , mix together make a trench and add the grinds cover with some soil. Coffee grinds I mix with my potting soil for my planters. All work well.
My "granny" had the prettiest roses in the neighborhood . She passed away forty years ago. But I spent all my growing up years in the summers with her . She saved all her coffee grounds for her roses. Save the water from boiling your eggs is good for your plants, so I would thing the shell would do as well' We live in Florida.
