Growing tomatoes is a rewarding experience, but achieving large fruits and an abundant harvest can sometimes be challenging. One simple, cost-effective way to improve your tomato plants is by using eggshells. Here’s how eggshells can benefit your tomato plants and how to use them effectively.
Benefits of Using Eggshells
- Calcium Source: Eggshells are rich in calcium, an essential nutrient for tomato plants. Calcium helps prevent blossom end rot, a common issue in tomatoes where the bottom of the fruit turns black and rots.
- Soil Aeration: Crushed eggshells improve soil structure and aeration, allowing roots to grow more efficiently and absorb nutrients better.
- Pest Deterrent: Sharp eggshell pieces can deter soft-bodied pests like slugs and snails, protecting your plants from damage.
- Natural Fertilizer: As eggshells break down, they release essential minerals into the soil, acting as a slow-release fertilizer.
