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.</p><p><a href="https://www.microfarmguide.com/eggshells-decompose/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">microfarmguide.com/eggshells-d</span><span class="invisible">ecompose/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://musician.social/tags/eggshells" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eggshells</span></a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>compost</span></a></p>
Colin Purrington<p>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.

Sylvie Pool Alvarez<p>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 😁.</p><p>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!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/porcelainart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>porcelainart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/eggshells" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eggshells</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/experimentalart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>experimentalart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/mastodonartists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastodonartists</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/fediart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediart</span></a></p>
Farhad<p><strong>Saved a lot of eggshells and backed them in the oven after baking bread, and today I turned them into fine powder.</strong></p><p><br>Pure calcium to be used in future fertilizer/compost projects.</p><p><a href="https://venera.social/search?tag=Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gardening</span></a> <a href="https://venera.social/search?tag=EggShells" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EggShells</span></a> <a href="https://venera.social/search?tag=Calcium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Calcium</span></a> <a href="https://venera.social/search?tag=Fertilizer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fertilizer</span></a></p>
