Many have probably heard that experienced gardeners can constantly collect eggshells in order to increase crop yields with their help.

However, it is worth considering the fact of correct application: if you make mistakes, then there will be no particular benefit from the component.

What rules should not be forgotten?

Washing

It is always worth remembering that eggshells need high-quality processing. Therefore, before further manipulations, they should be washed.

It is especially important to remove the films from the inside of the shell.

The need for drying

This process should take about 24 hours. If the shell is not dried, it will become a source of mold. Surely there is no need to explain that the use of spoiled shells is not allowed.
