Get your coffee grounds back
Used as a repellent agent, particularly against snails, ants and slugs, this natural barrier keeps them away because they don't like the acidity of the coffee. On the other hand, coffee grounds contain certain nutrients that are very useful for plants that like acidity, such as roses, hydrangeas, raspberries, strawberries and tomatoes.

Keep your egg shells
Egg shells can be used in many ways in your garden. You can use them crushed to enrich your compost or soil directly, coarsely crushed to protect young plants from slugs and snails or by using half a shell to make your seedlings. You can replant them directly into the soil by crushing the shell to allow the roots to grow.
