If you are planning to use old batteries as fertilizer for your garden, it is important to take proper safety measures. You should wear gloves and protective eyewear when handling the batteries. To dispose of them, you can bury them deep in the soil or place them in a metal container outside of your house where children and pets cannot access them. Additionally, check with local regulations before using as some areas may require you to take additional steps such as incineration or proper disposal in waste facilities.

You should take the proper precautions when using old batteries in your garden. Do not place them directly in contact with plants, since they could be hazardous if consumed by the roots. Separate them at least two inches from foliage, and avoid putting them close to trees, shrubs or vegetables that could potentially be consumed. It is also a good idea to wear protective gloves when handling old batteries and wash your hands thoroughly after you are done working with them. Additionally, make sure to discard of used batteries properly - do not put them in compost piles or dumping grounds where people or animals could get exposed to them.
