Never throw away eggshells - they are a treasure for growing flowers

We normally throw away eggshells after frying or boiling eggs. But in fact, using eggshells to grow flowers makes the flowers grow especially well, so never throw them away again.

Fertilizing

If they are the eggshells left after boiling eggs, you can crush them directly and use them, but if they are raw eggshells, you need to wash the egg liquid inside them clean and put them under the sun to dry, and only then can you crush them for use.

When using them, you can directly sprinkle the crushed eggshells on the surface of the potting soil, or dig a hole beside them away from the roots and then put the eggshells in, and both ways can achieve a fertilizing effect.

Driving away soft-bodied little bugs

For some soft-bodied little bugs such as slugs, we want to get rid of them but do not know where to start. At this time, you can sprinkle a layer of crushed eggshells around the flower pot and along the edge of the flower pot. These little bugs have soft bodies, and after crawling onto them they will be pricked by the sharp corners of the eggshells, so they will not dare to come again in the future.

Growing flowers

Make a small hole in an eggshell, then put soil inside it, and plant the plant you want to grow into it. Of course, you can only grow some relatively small ones, such as seedlings.

Preventing vegetables from lodging

When we normally grow vegetables, their seedlings are relatively lacking in trace elements and such things. Sprinkling some crushed eggshells around them can effectively prevent them from lodging and provide them with the nutrients they need.

Promoting growth

For the flowers at home or other vegetables you grow and so on, using crushed eggshells as a kind of fertilizer and sprinkling them into the soil can effectively promote their growth. This method is especially useful for chives, and you can try it at home.
