In gardening, eggshells offer multiple uses. One of the most common applications is as a natural fertilizer. When crushed and mixed with soil, they enrich the substrate with calcium and help balance the soil’s pH. This is especially beneficial for crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, which require additional calcium.
They can also be placed in larger pieces around plants as a natural barrier against slugs and snails. Their sharp edges deter these pesky visitors without the need for pesticides.
Another option is to add them to compost, as they accelerate decomposition and add minerals to the final fertilizer.
A Sustainable Solution
Reusing eggshells is a simple way to live a more eco-conscious and environmentally friendly lifestyle. Whether you use them to strengthen your bones or nourish your plants, you’re making the most of a resource that would normally end up in the trash. So the next time you break an egg, remember: don’t throw them away, reuse them!
