The three major nutrients needed by plants are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) but calcium is also essential for our plants especially fruit-bearing plants. Eggshells are a good source of calcium, phosphorus and potassium.

How to make

Sundry eggshells and grind to make powder add to the soil or make a spray by mixing in water. You can also directly apply dried and crushed eggshells into the soil or as mulch. You may also mix it with other organic matter and add to the soil few inches deep. This will help newly plants thrive.

I crush eggshells into small pieces and mix them into soil or compost. They add calcium, improve soil structure, and deter pests like slugs. It’s an easy, eco-friendly way to boost plant health naturally.
