How to unlock the potential of eggshells in your garden!
Live On What You Grow
View ChannelAbout
We're always pushing the boundaries of growing more food in the smallest garden space. Right now, you may not HAVE to survive on what you grow, but you certainly should know HOW to do it! If you HAD to survive on what you grew, you couldn't think like a gardener, but more like that of a farmer... planning every aspect from preparing your soil... all the way to storing your harvest! It takes a calculated approach. We even use microscopy to see the life in our soil! Now, you don't necessarily need that, but it helps if you REALLY want to know what's going on in your soil, especially if you teach others. But the goal is ALWAYS to grow an abundance of food in a small space. Everything with planning and purpose... not as a hobby! Some of the links on the site may be affiliate links.

*Eggshells* can be a very valuable asset to your garden and worm bin, and also as a calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus supplement for you. I consume eggshell powder every day! But eggshells are only useful if you use them the right way by grinding them into a fine powder, by either using a Vita-mix (or some other food processor), or by using my favorite method--- the mortar and pestle. *Chapters:* 0:00 Introduction 1:20 My background with calcium 1:58 Eggshell size and proof of the longevity of eggshells in the soil 4:46 Eggshells for worms 6:28 Calcium in human physiology 8:36 Is calcium carbonate available to your plants?
