Add pulverized egg shells (put in blender with some water) to your

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

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.

Actually you can David, a quick method is to microwave them for a
minute to cook up the leftover liquid inside, put in a coffee grinder
dry...they powder up really well, but as you said, that is a lot of
eggs!
