Don’t Toss Those Eggshells! Here’s Why You Should Keep Them

If you’re constantly using eggs in your home, you’re not alone. Eggshells, often seen as waste, actually offer numerous benefits. Here are 7 reasons to keep them:

1. Natural Pest Control: Scatter eggshells to deter slugs, worms, and snails from your garden.

2. Repel Deer: Sprinkle eggshells around plants to keep deer away.
3. Bird Feed: Birds love eggshells, so scatter them in your garden to attract feathered friends.
4. Soil Health: Eggshells are rich in calcium and nutrients, benefiting your soil and plants.
5. Protect Veggies: Prevent calcium deficiency in tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers by burying eggshells around them.
6. Balance Soil pH: Eggshells help neutralize acidic soil, creating a better environment for plants.
7. Easy Composting: Crushed eggshells make a great addition to compost, reducing waste and enriching soil.

Next time you crack an egg, consider the potential benefits of those shells for your garden and the environment.
