Tried the 'free coffee grounds for garden fertilizer' tip from a budget blog. My entire backyard now smells like a Starbucks dumpster.

Did you mix them into the soil or just spread them on top?

The budget blog didn't mention you need about a five gallon bucket of used grounds, not a whole trash bag. That concentrated smell is basically wet coffee rotting in the sun. You have to mix a thin layer deep into the soil, not just dump it on the lawn like mulch.
