2 Min. Tip: How We Use Eggshells in Our Garden (Eggshell Calcium)

By letter2self on January 23, 2023



In today’s Two Minute Tip, I’ll show you how we use eggshells to improve soil fertility.

Eggshells contain a number of minerals that are essential to plant growth, most notably calcium, which plays an important role in the strength and thickness of plant cell walls. Sufficient calcium in the soil also helps prevent blossom end rot, which I’ll discuss later.

OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, and mulch. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.
