6 Plants That Need to Be Fertilized with Eggshells: Remember This Once and for All
Experienced gardeners never throw away eggshells, because they are an excellent fertilizer.
We'll tell you which plants benefit from eggshells.
What plants like shells
Tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, plums, carrots, and eggplants react positively to the shell.
The shells are also used to feed seedlings to protect them from black leg.
Do not use the shells to feed cucumbers, zucchini, strawberries and peas.
The most effective is liquid fertilizer made from shells.
Fill a glass container with a lid and pour water over the crushed shells (100 grams of shells per liter of water) and leave for a week in a dark place.
Before use, dilute the fertilizer with water in a ratio of 1:3.
The shell can also be used to deoxidize the soil. Add half a kilo of ground shell per square meter of soil.
Coarsely ground shells are used to protect plants from slugs, mole crickets and other pests.
In addition, such shells can be used to make drainage for seedlings and flowers.
