How do I use egg shells to stop my plants for dying?
-
Douglas Hunt on Feb 08, 2015I don't think eggshells will keep any plant from dying. They will supply calcium if that is deficient, and of course will add organic matter as they break down. You can simply rinse and dry the shells and then crush or dry them and sprinkle them around the plants or add them to the soil when you are planting.Helpful Reply

LeAndra Tess Gibson on Feb 08, 2015Egg shells will discourage a small leaf eating bug called Armadillidiidae (rolly pollies). Not having this little creatures gnawing on your plants will most definitely give them better chance of survival.Helpful Reply
