Using eggshells in garden
-
Chandra | #Blessed on May 15, 2015I crush eggshells as small as I can and mix them in with the soil where I plant my tomatoes. Tomatoes thrive off of calcium enriched soil, you'll definitely notice an increase in tomatoes by doing this, at least I did, my plants were also out of control which was a good thing!Helpful Reply
