Yes! Besides for acting as a deterrent to pesky bugs like snails and slugs, they are a great source of calcium once they break down in the soil.

YES, they are great, use crushed to deter slugs and snails or grind them up in a blender and add to the soil for a great nutrient booster.
You can also grind them and put them in your bird bath. The calcium is good for the birds.
I also use cut up banana peels. Very healthy for rose bushes
Yes they are! Just make sure you crumble them into small pieces. . Also you can use used coffee grounds in flower beds as well.
