What happens here

Take the collected eggshells and crush them into small pieces. This can be done by hand if they are sufficiently brittle. Alternatively, if crushing by hand is difficult or preferred, a potato masher can be used for this task to achieve finer fragments.

Goal: Next, the collected eggshells need to be crushed into smaller pieces to facilitate their breakdown and nutrient release into the soil.
