Following popular advice, summer residents often repeat the mistakes of others when it comes to applying fertilizers.
It is known that eggshells are considered a source of calcium, but not all plants need feeding.
It turns out that vegetable crops do not particularly need this fertilizer.
How to Use Eggshells Properly
Firstly, it is recommended to dry the shell.
Secondly, grind it and preferably into powder.
Thirdly, it should be used in moderation and not for all crops.
What to feed
1. When planting cabbage, you can add prepared fertilizer into the holes.
To protect against slugs, sprinkle the soil around the plant with the shells.
2. You can add the shells between the rows when planting potatoes.
This improves the structure of the soil and saturates it with calcium.
3. Tomatoes especially need calcium.
4. From garden crops, fertilizer is applied under the plum tree at intervals of once every 2-3 years.
It is important to calculate the fertilizer dosage for each plant individually. Excess nutrients are as harmful as their deficiency.
