Recycling is a fundamental art that is not only good for your wallet but also good for the environment   .

Recycling is essential in the kitchen and the reuse of waste is a magic that never ceases to amaze.

That’s exactly why today you can read below how to  recycle eggshells and help your favorite plants at the same   time   .

Anyone who lovingly tends their garden knows exactly what benefits an eggshell can have for a plant and how it ensures its healthy growth.

If you also want to know, it is imperative to stay on this page!

Eggshells can    be used as a repellent   and   fertilizer .

How should you prepare the mussels for use?

Besides grinding, we can use them in two other ways:

• Flour

To   make eggshell flour  we must take a dozen eggshells and let them dry in a shady place. Then put them in a bag and grind them to a powder consistency. When necessary, all we have to do is  add 1 or 2 tablespoons of this flour to the soil for about 40 days.  In this way we will provide the soil with useful calcium for our plants.

• waterfall

To   obtain water from the shells we must  put 3 liters of water   in a pot and bring it to a boil along with  6 types of eggs   . By pouring the result into the soil we can provide the plants with the beneficial minerals and calcium they need.

Now that we’ve seen how to use them, let’s take a closer look at what they’re for.

Check the acidity of the soil

The eggshell controls the acidity of the soil in which we want to grow the plant. All you have to do is  put the ground eggshell in the soil for a long time.  In this way, the shell components penetrate the soil very easily when watering.

Keep parasites and snails away.

The shells of the eggs form a kind of   wall against the snails and caterpillars,   forcing them to move away abruptly. By rubbing the shells, these parasites are injured and then retreat abruptly.

Make compost

Do you usually make compost at home? Then you can simply add eggshells. You can   easily  mix the shells with coffee grounds, which will make the planting substrate much more fertile.

fertilizer

Eggshells can also be a perfect fertilizer. They are rich in   nitrogen   ,   calcium   ,   potassium   and   phosphorus and it is enough to introduce them into the  soil substrate   . They will improve the development of plants very quickly.

I would say it’s time to get to work!
