no, and I really don't recommend it , hard to glue down, but the aroma would be nice
I went out and in the back yard and found some good top soil, dried it out and use it for ground cover.

In 1958 that was *all* I used. Oldest of old-school techniques.
I still keep a jar of grounds around. Rarely use it "straight", but it's good as part of a mix of ground textures.
One thumb up and two down. Sounds like it isn't my cup of tea.
My father tried used coffee grounds along a short piece of track. It was free, looked nice, and smelled nice for years. Even overpowered the lionel smoke smell. But it just didn't feel rights somehow.

I give it a thumbs sideways. (One up, one down).
I've used it to represent mulch and compost, because that's what it looks like, without any ill effects. And I didn't bother wasting energy to bake it.
But I wouldn't use it for "dirt". It doesn't look like dirt.
Like Vulcan, Grandma used it to compost her garden, but it is too dark to represent most natural earth tones.
