Eggshells as Fertilizer and Pest Control

Crushed eggshells are another fantastic resource. They can be used as a natural fertilizer, providing calcium to your plants. Scatter crushed eggshells around the base of your plants to deter pests like snails and slugs. This multifunctional hack is economical and effective.

Eggshells not only keep pests away but also enhance soil health by adding calcium, which is necessary for plants to have strong cell walls. You can also add crushed eggshells to your compost bin to enrich the compost with calcium. For an extra boost, blend eggshells into a fine powder and mix them into your garden soil. This will ensure that the calcium is more readily available to your plants, promoting healthier growth and development.
