3 good reasons not to throw eggshells

How to collect enough shells?

Personally, I have long been accustomed all his household that shell need to be disposed of in a separate package. I used to keep it like that, and then hit upon the idea to put a separate bucket next to the trash, all piled there only shells.

Periodically, I was milled and crumbled into the shell packets and already chopped store somewhere in the far corner that she never stopped anyone.

Surely you've heard that the shell is a great fertilizer because it contains a huge amount of calcium and phosphorus. But many gardeners make a big mistake when you simply scatter shells in plants.

If you really want to properly fertilize your plants, it is best to make a tincture from a shell:

• take the shell of 10-12 eggs, shred and fall asleep in a saucepan;
• 2 liter fill and boil about 30-40 minutes;
• then poured into the jar (with shells) and give to stand for a week;
• before use diluted with water (1 liter of solution to 2 liters of water)

Such a solution should fertilize your plants in order to increase their productivity. Checked personally many times, works simply with a bang!
