| Eggs are delicious but also eggshells are very useful in gardens. Did you know that? You can use them as a fertilizer, because they are amazing to beef up soil. It doesn't matter if they are more white or yellow, you can use all of them. There are only 3 kinds of plants that you shouldn't use them with: orchids, ferns and azaleas. If you want to make use of them, you simply need to strew them or bury them. Have you ever used them? |

| I spun mine in a blender and added to my tomatoes. They also work as slug deterrent if small enough. |

| all my egg shells go in the compost heap. Actually, that amounts to about one or more egg shells per day... |

| I used to throw a whole egg in the tomato hole. The proteins and carbs and other mineral are good as well. Now it is just composted manure and fertilizers. |

You need to add a whole lot of eggshells to the compost heap to keep blossom end rot at bay, whereas slacked lime is about 20c/lb and one application lasts the whole season.  I'll take the seeds from Colombia and Mexico, I'll just plant 'em in the hollers down Copperhead Road. |

| Wouldn't slacked lime raise the ph? |
