Never Throw Eggshells in the Garden: List of Plants That Can Be Ruined by Incorrect Fertilizer
It is no secret that many plants love to “treat” themselves with eggshells, which serve as an excellent fertilizer for them.
A substance containing calcium quickly solves the problem in case of its deficiency.
In addition, eggshells improve the structure of the soil and reduce its acidity.
However, not all plants accept such a "treat". Their reaction to the shell can manifest itself in a zero harvest.
For example, tomatoes are one of them. Excess calcium can disrupt the absorption of magnesium and potassium.
In such a situation, the growth of bushes slows down and the yield decreases catastrophically.
Peppers don't like eggshells. It is recommended to use complex fertilizers with an optimal amount of vitamins.
Legumes also object to eggshells because they disrupt nitrogen metabolism in their roots.
Moreover, if you “overfeed” legumes with shells, you can disrupt the soil microflora.
Beets and carrots don’t like shells – when there is too much calcium, the soil becomes compacted and it becomes more difficult for their roots to grow.
They do not want shells and salad with spinach, since the excess calcium makes it difficult for them to obtain magnesium and iron.
The consequence of such complexity is problems with the growth and development of these crops.
