It is believed that adding eggshells to the soil makes the soil better and richer, and crops grown in such conditions are less likely to get sick and grow and develop faster.
However, in order for the remains of chicken, goose and duck eggs to really benefit the plantings, they must be collected according to all the rules.
The first mistake that many gardeners make is that before storing the shells, they should be washed and dried.
This is done to get rid of any plant-damaging bacteria that may still remain on the shell.
The second wrong action is choosing a plastic bag for storage.
Instead of exposing the shells to the risk of "rot", use paper bags for storage.
Finally, it is worth remembering that not all shells are suitable for use in the garden.
For example, you shouldn’t put Easter egg shells dyed with chemical dyes in the same pile with everyone else – you shouldn’t expect any benefit from them.
