When you bury them, these bugs move in. Then they find the nematode eggs
and realize that they like those better than egg shells, and gets rid of
nematodes by killing the babies. Apparently the new bugs are harmless to
your garden and to you, but that they are very effective at getting rid of
the pests.

Interesting. Unfortunately, we don't eat that many eggs :-(

Dwayne did not say you have to eat any eggs, all you have to do is 'have the
shells'. But then maybe it won't work. And you will never know...until...
