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.
