class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you know what&#8217;s in eggshells?&nbsp;Vitamins, the mineral calcium and many other valuable nutrients!&nbsp;So instead of throwing them away, why not save them to

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply chop them up into small pieces and sprinkle them around commonly infested plants.&nbsp;Do not press them deep into the ground, create a barrier on their surface that slugs cannot cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to thrive, plants need the best conditions for their growth.&nbsp;The most common problem and the reason why plants suffer is excessive soil acidity.&nbsp;Eggshells are a formidable weapon to solve this problem.&nbsp;They are an important source of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, which can balance the pH of the compost and also the acidity of the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply crush the peels into a powder and mix them with the soil around the plants.&nbsp;When you water the plants, all the important substances from the shells are poured into them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use eggshells as fertilizer to enrich the soil around all plants, shrubs and flowers.&nbsp;Using the peels as a natural fertilizer is highly recommended, especially for growing tomatoes.&nbsp;You can prevent the most common tomato disease.&nbsp;To ensure your entire garden benefits, feed it eggshells regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prepare this fertilizer, place the shells of at least six eggs in a saucepan, cover them with three liters of water and let them boil.&nbsp;Once the water has cooled, you can strain the mixture and water the plants with this fertilizer.&nbsp;You can also grind 12 eggshells into a fine powder and sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of this powder on the roots of plants every day for 40 days.&nbsp;Store the powder in an airtight container.&nbsp;You can also use this fertilizer for houseplants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plants need constant nutrition because soil and water are not enough.&nbsp;You can make your own compost at home using organic waste like coffee and eggshells.&nbsp;When mixed, they help your plants look more beautiful and grow healthier.&nbsp;Learn how to make your homemade fertilizer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ingredients for Making Homemade Compost:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup of water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 banana bowl<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 cup of coffee grounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 Eggshells<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The earth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: Cut the banana peel into small pieces.<br>Step 2: Place eggshells, banana peel and coffee in a blender.&nbsp;Then mix until all ingredients are homogeneous.<br>Step 3: You can add it to plants or mix it with soil for later use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The banana improves the soil because it is rich in potassium, an element that promotes the growth and development of the fruits of your plants.&nbsp;Coffee, on the other hand, is used to improve drainage and water retention in the soil.&nbsp;When it decomposes, it releases nitrogen, which is good for plant growth.&nbsp;Finally, eggshells are rich in calcium and have a deterrent effect on snails and slugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would you like to reap the benefits of eggshells for your plants but don&#8217;t yet know how?&nbsp;Do not be afraid !&nbsp;Eggshells are
