You can also use the ground shells around the roots of the plants as&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>mulch<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. This is because shells are considered essential for the growth and development of plants and roots due to their&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>high calcium content<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, eggshells contain&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>93% calcium and 1% nitrogen<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, which are vital for healthy soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to this, they manage to maintain a correct&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>pH balance in the soil<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, before grinding them, and therefore before using them,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>you must first clean and sterilize them thoroughly<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;so that no type of fungus or bacteria grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearly you don&#8217;t want to add too large an amount to the soil because it could damage it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this introduction you are now ready to discover the trick that will make eggshells even more beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pianetadonne.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/gusci-duovo-immergili-in-acqua-gusci-duovo-macinati.jpg\" alt=\"soak eggshells in water ground eggshells\" class=\"wp-image-1861906\" title=\"soak eggshells in water ground eggshells\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eggshells: Soak them in hot water and use them like that.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before using&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>eggshells,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;you must&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>wash them and let them dry for at least 24 hours<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. After a day, they can be&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>crushed<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to obtain many pieces to insert into the garden, flowerbeds and vases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This way, the plants will be able to absorb a lot of energy, thanks to the high percentage of calcium contained in the shells. Also, if you usually make compost at home, you can add the ground shells without any problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it is good to remember that there are other methods that can be used. One method, which is foolproof, is the one in which&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>water must be used<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to help the plant grow stronger and healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, many gardeners use a trick that is unknown to most people and that you will now know too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You simply need&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to boil an eggshell<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. You can then&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>use the water obtained to water your plants<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;. Obviously, you can water both ornamental plants and aromatic and medicinal plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later, in this case too, it is possible&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to recover the shells and crush them<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to then add them to the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easy, right? Remember that boiling eggshells also kills any&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>fungi and\/or bacteria<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;on the shell. This way you can help your plants in the safest way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boiling shells in water also means dissolving their&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>mineral salts and calcium<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;so that they can be added to plants without wasting a single drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you&#8217;ve discovered how precious eggshells can be, all that&#8217;s left is to take care of your plants in the best way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will find that you will never throw them away again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you eat a lot of&nbsp;&nbsp;eggs&nbsp;&nbsp;during the day, it is really a shame&nbsp;&nbsp;to waste the shells&nbsp;&nbsp;by throwing them away.
