Don’t Toss Those Eggshells! Here’s Why You Should Keep Them

Eggs are not only nutritious, but their shells offer numerous benefits for your garden and home. Here are seven reasons to keep those eggshells:

  1. Natural Pest Deterrent
    Scatter eggshells around plants to deter slugs, worms, and snails. These pests dislike the sharp texture, keeping them away from your garden.
  2. Repels Deer
    If deer are a problem, sprinkle eggshells around your plants. Deer dislike the smell, making them avoid your garden.
  3. Bird Feed
    Birds love eggshells, which provide them with calcium. Spread crushed shells in your garden to attract and nourish birds, who also help control pests.
  4. Soil Health Booster
    Eggshells are rich in calcium and nutrients. Add crushed shells to your soil to enhance its health and help your plants thrive.
  5. Prevent Vegetable Rot
    Tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers often suffer from calcium deficiencies. Burying eggshells in the soil can prevent this, keeping your veggies healthy and flavorful.
  6. Balance Soil pH
    If your soil is too acidic, eggshells can help balance the pH levels, creating a better environment for your plants.
  7. Composting
    Crushed eggshells are a great addition to compost. They enrich the compost, contributing to a healthier garden.

Next time you use eggs, save the shells—they can significantly benefit your garden and promote an eco-friendly lifestyle.
