Broken Pots: - Reuse as drainage: Place broken pot pieces at the bottom of plant pots for improved drainage. - Creative crafts: Use broken pieces for mosaic projects or garden decorations.3. Rotten Fruits: - Composting: Rotten fruits can be composted to create natural fertilizer for plants. - Vermiculture: Use them as feed in a worm bin for nutrient-rich worm castings.4.
