I do not use egg shells, I used mixed for calcium and magnesium carbonate, already crushed to a fine powder, I only need to mix between 2 of them. If not, all the bed rock here is based on calcium carbonate , therefore I can just put some small stones in the soil.


You know what? I have also accidentally discovered by just putting the finely ground egg shell powder on the top soil in each of the pots…"All the soil gnats left the building". I don't know why.. but haven't had any since .

Great soil in your area.. to only add cal and mag..simple strategy …. Thumbs up
I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.”
