And I totally agree with you about eggshells..I also grew up in the Phil and I do remember seeing orchid shells, almost still whole but emptied out, right at the tips of some orchids. 
I do composting too, but I use a double tumbling bin. I read somewhere coffee grounds are good for the garden, especially when battling the yucky snails/slugs.
