Experienced gardeners do not pour out the water left in the pan after boiling eggs.

The fact is that this liquid contains many important microelements: calcium, potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, magnesium, etc.

They appear in the water thanks to eggshells.

Thus, the liquid can be used as a specific fertilizer.

In addition, "egg" water is ideal for indoor plants.

But for garden crops it is worth using a more powerful product.

How to make a stronger remedy

To get access to a complete fertilizer, it is advisable to take not the water left after boiling eggs, but a specially prepared infusion of eggshells.

Grind the hard shell of the eggs well. You need to get 50 grams of powder. It should be poured with a liter of boiling water.

The liquid should be left “alone” for at least 7 days.

A sign that the fertilizer is “ready” is the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

The fertilizer should be diluted with clean water four times. As a result, you will have a product that can be used to water garden crops at the root. The fertilizer is ideal for tomatoes.
