Of course, the benefits are endless if you only use eggshells in your garden. They will provide vitamins, minerals and proteins and are one of the most nutritious foods in the world.
- Natural Fertilize
Using eggshell fertilizer is especially important if you plan to grow peppers or tomatoes. These plants are most likely affected with calcium deficiency. - Seed Starter Pots
To use eggshells as starter pots you shouldn’t break them, just make a hole at the bottom of the shell when you plan on using the eggs. When empty, make a drainage whole to the eggshells and place them on a carton. Then, start filling each one with potting soil and prepare the seeds for the soil. Once the seedlings outgrow the eggshells, transplant them. - Pest Control
The sharp edges of the shells will deter the snails, slugs and other pests.
The shells will serve as the barrier and these pests and will scare insects and pests away from your garden!

Place the feeder near your garden and birds will soon come for them. - Used In Mulching
