Stop throwing your eggshells away! 🥚🌱 Eggshells are packed with calcium, which helps support strong plant growth and can help prevent issues like blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers. One of my favorite parts of homesteading is learning how much “waste” can still serve a purpose. 1️⃣ Rinse out your eggshells and remove any leftover yolk. 2️⃣ Place the shells into an old strawberry container lined with a paper towel and allow them to fully dry out. 3️⃣ Once the container is full, crush the shells down into a glass jar using the back of a spatula. 4️⃣ When your jar is full, grind into a fine powder in a blender or food processor. 5️⃣ Sprinkle the powder into your garden beds and mix it into the soil around your plants & watch them ENJOY! 😋 ⭐ Make sure the shells are fully dry before blending so the powder stores well. ⭐ This is not a stand-alone fertilizer. Although it adds a calcium boost, it works best with compost. ⭐️ This works best as a long-term soil amendment, not an instant fertilizer. #gardening #fertilizer #homestead #zerowaste #fyp
