A lot of people use coffee beans to attract nightcrawlers, I think you will be ok using it.

Yes, yes, yes! Redworms and European Nighcrawlers absolutely love coffee grounds! be careful to only put enough that they will eat, or you will grow mold and/or attract unwanted pests! I feed my redworms coffee grounds almost weekly!

I wouldn’t, too acidic
give them some potato peels instead.

That should be fine, as a boy I remember Dad put coffee grounds, vegetable scraps and most often cow manure to enrich the earth in our worm beds. It make it easier to scratch them up as well.

you certainly can. using coffee grounds on worm beds has been around for decades. even after you make coffee with them, they still work.

NO the caffeine won’t kill but the tannic acid ( the chemical that gives its color will if you put too much in) do ya one better make your worm farm around a rose bush like I did and kill two birds with one stone!!
