Hit, hit - hit, put it down and forget
We used to collect eggshells. Like a treasure :)
- Some were crushed and placed under the tomatoes when planting. What for? From top rot and just for feeding tomatoes. Indeed, there is a lot of useful things in the shell, except for calcium carbonate:
- Some of them were large-scaled and placed under strawberries (strawberries) from the beetle beetle larvae. The neighbor helped.
- I poured it under the plum to deoxidize the soil and food, but it was a drop in the sea, so it was mainly dolomite flour that deoxidized.
- When planting bushes and trees, I poured crushed shells, also with dolomite flour :)
We had no success from the shell. Vertex rot in the greenhouse was getting more, not less. AND the beetles were sitting right on the shellwhen we were digging in the eaten strawberry bush.
They just started putting it in compost. Organics after all!
In the meantime, I read about the others. Some assured that eggshells did not decompose in the ground, they saw this in their plots. And they were very belligerent towards everyone who said otherwise, like, don't understand anything! Others said they were decomposing.
We have become your compost choose from the box. It ripens quickly with us, less than a year for the upper layers.
We look, there are almost no shells! Occasionally come across pieces. They put in a lot, there was almost nothing left. While people spend Scientific research by dissolving eggshells in organic acids, ours quietly dissolves in compost.
Why is it wrong with others? There is a lack of the necessary bacteria or acids, or some other substances for processing. Soils and composts are different for everyone! I can't find any other explanation.
By the way, it is in the ground where the shell decomposes in 3 years, after all, the earth is not compost.
Do your eggshells decompose in the compost?
How do you use it?
I would be grateful for your subscription and communication :)
