How to Feed Eggshells to Chickens #howto #diy #Eggshells

I use eggshells as a soil enhancer. I also sterilize the shells (300 F for 30 minutes) before grinding them into a fine powder (using a mortar and pestle).

Cracking the Code: Can Ground Eggshells be Used as a Liming Source?

April 2, 2025 by Leon Martinez

Excerpt: "Factors Affecting Eggshell Liming Efficacy

The efficacy of eggshell liming depends on several factors, including:

- Particle size: Finely ground eggshells are more effective at raising soil pH than coarsely ground eggshells.
- Application rate: The amount of eggshells applied to the soil can impact their effectiveness as a liming source.
- Soil type: Eggshell liming may be more effective in certain soil types, such as acidic soils with low calcium content.

Practical Applications of Eggshell Liming

If you’re interested in trying eggshell liming, here are some practical tips to get you started:

- Collect and dry eggshells: Collect eggshells from your kitchen or local farms and dry them thoroughly to prevent mold and bacterial growth.
- Grind eggshells: Grind the dried eggshells into a fine powder using a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.
- Apply eggshells to soil: Mix the ground eggshells into the soil at a rate of 1-2 cups per 10 square feet.

Conclusion

While ground eggshells show promise as a liming source, their effectiveness depends on several factors, including particle size, application rate, and soil type. As with any liming material, it’s essential to monitor soil pH and adjust application rates accordingly. With proper use and application, ground eggshells can be a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to traditional liming materials."

Boost your tomatoes! 🍅 Crush dried eggshells and sprinkle around the base of your plants. They release calcium, preventing blossom end rot and strengthening cell walls. #permaculture #gardeningtips #tomatoes #eggshells #growyourown

Here's an article that agrees with you, and gives some alternate uses. I will continue to break mine up and put it in the compost. Since my soil is heavy and a bit acidic, maybe at least it will help to loosen the soil and reduce landfill waste.

So, gardeners, is there any good use for eggshells now that it's established that they don't prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes and don't deter slugs in lettuce plantings? Am wondering whether they would work as an inert for repotting orchids, or perhaps as a decorative addition to my miniature rock garden. Thanks for suggestions. #eggs #eggshells #calcium #tomatoes #slugs #garden #gardening #allotment

Did you know that egg shells can survive a 12 hour kiln firing session with temperatures tipping over 2230 degrees Fahrenheit (approx 1220 degrees Celsius)?!?! Well, I definitely didn't expect that one 😁.

I had dipped an egg shell in porcelain thinking I would just have a very thin egg-shaped porcelain piece after the kiln firing. Instead, there are actual eggshell remnants which is absolutely amazing!

Watch out, slugs! Got crushed egg shells, diatomaceous earth, beer, and (hopefully 🤞) going to build a fortress around the brassica seedlings… bring it on, you slimy bastards! #slugs #snails #eggshells #diatomaceousearth #beertraps #Garden

An old woman once told a family whose farmhouse was being haunted by fairies to have six of their reapers sit down at their kitchen table and eat pudding out of eggshells for harvest-dinner. This so confused and disturbed the fairies that they fled and never returned. #FolkloreSunday

Although the structural characteristics of the eggshell vary by species, the chicken eggshell has three distinct layers : the mammillary layer, the prismatic or palisade layer, and the external layer.
