For more information, try googling "lasagna gardening" or "sheet composting".
Pat Lanza wrote a book on the subject. According to her, no need to wait for it to finish, she plants directly into the mounds of organic material immediately.

I often fling coffee grounds directly into my yard (too lazy to walk to my compost bins). It doesn't attract bugs. Coffee grounds are, I think, more of a soil conditioner than a fertilizer.
