Gardening Tip: Egg Shells

Use eggshells as an organic fertilizer for your herb, vegetable or flower garden.  After cooking with eggs, put the leftover egg shells into a plastic ziploc bag.  Use the bottom of a cup or a regular household object to crush the eggshells into smaller pieces.  Sprinkle the eggshells throughout the garden.  Not only are egg shells considered a great fertilizer, they also keep slugs at bay because their sharp edges kill slugs and keep them from moving around in your garden.  Recycle, Reduce, Reuse!
