Many summer residents know that not all gardening recipes that were previously used in the garden are useful for crops.
Some gardeners still argue about the advisability of using ordinary eggshells.
Is it worth the time to prepare eggshells for the garden?
Let's turn to the opinion of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How eggshells are useful in the garden
The very first advantage is that it is a source of calcium carbonate, which is easily absorbed in the soil.
The shell contains quite a lot of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and silicon. Calcium is needed by plants for normal development during the growing season in spring.
The shell helps improve the structure of the soil and reduces its acidity. It also acts as a stimulator for the development of soil microorganisms.
If you sprinkle large pieces of eggshells, they will prevent slugs from getting into the garden.
