Add pulverized egg shells (put in blender with some water) to your
lawn. Egg shells breakdown slowly, so you won't get a quick

Get serious. Ted already has enough goofy advice. If the lawn is
no bigger than 3m square and he has 5 years to wait this is a good
idea.

Explain your goofy response.
I appreciate your aim of re-use and recycle but in this case it isn't
practical.
How many eggs do you have to eat to get enough shell to spread on a yard?
Sure it depends on the size of the yard but we are talking about some kilos
of egg shell.
How fine can you grind it? Not very fine without a mill. Fine garden lime
or gypsum will take months to work, ground shell will be much coarser and
take years.
