Eggshells

I read somewhere that crushed up egg shells are good for your plant.
I added some to my soil yesterday...good or bad?

its just calcium and i dont really see how egg shells could dissolve in water so it probly did nothing.

They are good for your plant! But only when added to a compost heap and composted down

Why would you add something then ask about it????????

Like:::::: I just dumped salt/pepper in my soil. will it add spice?

Nothing wrong with egg shells . But then again I don't know anything about egg shells.............

then y post if you dont know...^

I am not hating
I am just saying why do something you know nothing about.
Then ask about it.

And I forgot more than most will ever know.........
HEHEHEHE JUST a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Babygro is right. VV

my friend told me that his neighbor throws them in his tomato garden alot. he said this dude always has the biggest nicest looking tomatoes. that was his secret. he didn't say anything about composting them first though.

The key,is too boil the egg,remove the shell,and let it get dry.Then grind it to a powder,you can use a coffee grinder.

I dunno about jus putting egg shells in your soil will do anything. But i know if you put it in a compost pile its really good, my dad has been doing for his garden as long as i can remember..

grind what? the egg or the shell. and then what?

eat the boil eggs,grind the shell.

Egg shells work as organic lime...they help raise the ph in the soil.

A good mixture of eggs & coffee grounds add calcium and nitrogen to your soil. Just grind or crush the eggshells and add that to the coffee grinds and mix it with your soil. Best test your runoff for ppm and nitrogen if you are supplememnting with other fertilizers.

Many common home throw aways can be used to help your grow.

it sounds to me one of tho's little things people do that is most prob a myth i couldnt see how much this could change your plant, any one tried it against a control group?

eggshells are good in compost piles. usually people use them for worm beds. when i grow a garden of veggies i put banana peels orange peels and eggshells in the ground a month or two before planting. it will help if you break it down. i know that for a fact.

They're as organic as it gets.
