I scanned this image for my fellow GWebbers to view which came from a recent issue of a magazine I subscribe to.
Next time you use eggs, crack the egg(s) in half and rinse out the egg residue. • Poke a drainage hole in the bottom w/ a sharp instrument • Fill the shells w/ seed starting mix • Sow the seeds When the seedlings are ready for transplanting, gently crush the eggshell w/ your fingers and plant the seedling, eggshell and all. The shells will provide calcium to the plants as they grow and improve your soil as it decomposes. |
