Hey everybody,

dummie me wanting help again.
I remember something about being able to recycle eggshells by crushing them
up and putting them to plants. can't remember exactly what for though -
something about nutrients. can anyone remind me again about it? does it
really help?

Thanks,
Rae


If you leave them a little coarse when you crush them, the sharp edges
will serve to kill / deter slugs and snails. Then you get the
benefits of the nutrients and the deterrent!
