Rinse eggshells thoroughly to remove any egg residue.

Let them dry completely. Optionally, bake them in the oven for a few minutes to sterilize.

2. Methods of Use in the Garden:

Crushed Shells: Break into small pieces and scatter around plants or mix into the soil.

Powdered Shells: Grind into a fine powder for faster calcium absorption. Sprinkle directly around plants.

Burying: Place whole or crushed shells near plant roots to enrich the soil.

3. Use as Seedling Pots:

Bake shells briefly to sterilize.

Poke a small drainage hole in the bottom.

Fill with potting soil and plant seeds.

Transplant directly into the ground with the shell once the seedling matures.
