Broken nutshells work in the same way as egg shells when getting rid of slugs.
How it works: Break up the nutshells into small pieces, and create a protective barrier around your plants. Any slugs that come near your vegetables will soon turn the other way.
How it works: Sprinkle coffee grounds around your plants. Fresh coffee is more effective than instant. Also, the higher the caffeine content the more effective the solution.
