How to use old egg shells for better gardens and back yard chickens!
What happens here
Sprinkle the crushed eggshells directly into your garden beds, especially in areas where you plan to plant calcium-loving vegetables like tomatoes. The video specifically mentions using them for tomatoes to help prevent blossom end rot. After sprinkling, chickens, if present, may naturally scratch the eggshells into the soil, further integrating the calcium. Alternatively, you can lightly rake or till them into the topsoil.
Goal: Sprinkle crushed eggshells directly into garden beds to enrich the soil with calcium, which can prevent common plant problems like blossom end rot.
