How eggshells can help in growing seedlings: from the experience of experienced gardeners
Many gardeners are sure that healthy and strong seedlings can be grown using eggshells.
To test the effectiveness of this handy tool on your plot, you should stock up on it throughout the winter, and with the beginning of spring sowing, you should take out the “reserves” and grind them into crumbs.
Important: the smaller the eggshell, the better the fertilizer will be absorbed.
This can be done conveniently using a food processor, mortar, or coffee grinder.
Now you can start preparing the soil mixture. To do this, mix the soil with egg crumbs at a rate of 1 teaspoon of shell per 1 cup of soil.
It is in this substrate that the seeds of future crops should be placed.
By the way, don’t forget to add soil from the container with seedlings into the holes when planting the seedlings in a permanent place.
Thus prepared egg dressing will continue to saturate plants with useful elements, primarily calcium.
