Having been reminded that coffee grounds are a folk remedy for deterring

Apparently it is illegal to use any untested product as a chemical

Mulching to add organic content is fine, though.......

Ignoring the above for the moment, has anyone tried this and does it work?

According to all reports, not well.

Maby you want to get your coffee grounds from Costa, then the
multiplicity of coffees available would confuse the slugs so much they
would forget what they came to your plot for.
I know it confuses the hell out of me.
