Egg shells have so many great uses. Today I'm going to show you how to make calcium plant food. All plants need calcium but some are well known for needing more. Think tomatoes and peppers. Ever had blossom end rot on your tomatoes? This is probably do to not watering properly, too much rain at once, but also due to a lack of calcium. Of course there are other ways to get calcium in your garden, but why pay when the egg shells
from your breakfast are free?!
Obviously you will need egg shells. I keep this container in the fridge and fill it up as we eat eggs.
Preheat your oven to 275
Bake the egg shells for 10 -30 minutes.
Just until they are nice and dry.
Then blend them till powdery in your blender or food processor.
Ta Da! Now just add a small scoop to each of your plants as you plant them. You can also throw the shells straight into your compost pile. I'll be sprinkling a little of this in the worm bin.
They love this stuff!
