Don't throw those egg shells away!Use them in the garden, or just feed them to whatever plants you have around. Crushed egg shells add valuable nutrients to soil. Egg shells that are not crushed will break down very slowly.
- Put them in the bottom of plant pots instead of stones. Egg shells are much lighter than stones and they are a great source of of nutrition.
- Place egg shells in a circle on top of the ground surface around tender plant stems such as peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage to deter slugs and cutworms.
- Place egg shells in the soil near tomatoes. Calcium is very useful to tomatoes because the extra calcium will help prevent blossom end rot.
