Just read about coffee ground use in the garden and had some questions... [View all]

The link was posted in the household spot, but I thought gardeners would be a better reference in this case...
It stated that overall grounds are a great fertilizer for most plants, but not tomatoes. What other plants don't care for coffee grounds?
Also, we have been working on compost which is ready to be spread this spring. It has a lot of coffee grounds in it. Will this adversely affect any of our plants such as the tomatoes?
Coffee grounds were listed as a deterent for slugs and ants as well as for cats. Does it also work for rabbits?
I'd like to try some of the gardening ideas without harming my plants.
Thanks!
