Eggshells can be used in a variety of ways in the garden. For example, as a detoxifying agent or a pest control agent.
How to use eggshells in the garden
Finely ground eggshells can increase soil acidity.
To do this, eggshell powder must be added to the soil in the fall before digging.
Compared to commercially produced deoxidizers, shells may work more slowly.
Therefore, you should check the acidity of the soil on the site.
In addition, eggshells help in the fight against slugs in the garden.
Can eggshells be used as fertilizer
Egg shells are an excellent fertilizer for plants in the garden.
Grind the shells of two to three dozen eggs, scald them with boiling water, and then fill them with cool water.
After 4 days, the fertilizer will be ready and the product can be used.
The shells rot in the soil and release useful substances to vegetable crops gradually and over a long period of time.
To use the product as a fertilizer, grind and scatter the egg powder in a dense layer over the beds with plants.
After this, you need to dig up and embed the fertilizer into the soil.
It is important to remember that the finer the eggshell is ground, the faster the substance will begin to benefit the plants in your garden.
This fertilizer is perfect for fertilizing tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, legumes, pumpkins, cucumbers, radishes, and onions.
