After boiling eggs, a person gets access to a very important summer cottage remedy. We are talking about the water left in the pan.

Unfortunately, many gardeners do not even realize the benefits of this liquid, so they pour it down the sink.

Experienced gardeners never do this. On the contrary, they save this water, pouring it into bottles to use later on their country plot.

The water in which eggs were boiled can act as an excellent fertilizer.

What is the use of this liquid?

Eggshells contain a lot of calcium. This element gets into the water when eggs are boiled.

Other components that are very important for garden crops also appear in the liquid.

If you use “egg” water when watering plants, the deficiency of calcium and other essential elements is replenished.

The culture again acquires the opportunity for full development and formation of fruits. In addition, plants receive protection from many diseases.

Many vegetables need calcium, especially cabbage.

Important nuances

In no case should you water plants with hot "egg" water. The liquid should be cooled or chilled.

Failure to follow this rule will result in serious damage to crops.

There is another important point. As a liquid for irrigation, you can use the water left in the pan not only after boiling eggs, but also after boiling vegetables. Such water will also bring great benefit to the plants.
