Legalily said:Is the calcium from the eggshells good for all the garden or just the tomatoes? As far as kitchen scraps, I'm afraid we have too many animals (bunnies, squirrels, deer, raccoons, dog, cats, etc. in the yard that would like to dig), but I have a garden soil with earthworm castings I was going to add in the Spring. I added it to the perennial garden connected to it so I'll see what comes up in the spring. I'll be tilling again so I can really get things worked into the soil and break up the clay. I normally add a lot of shredded hardwood mulch to all of my perennials, but wasn't sure what to mulch with in the veggie garden.


I think you can do pretty much the same as you do in your flower garden for the veggie space. They will be happy with all the amendments,.
