Plant Seeds in Eggshells.


http://www.herbs-info.com/blog/how-to-plant-seeds-using-eggshells/



Here’s a fantastic, easy idea we just came across – how to use eggshells to plant seeds. I love this one. There are numerous benefits to this idea:



1) You don’t have to uproot the seeds when it comes to time to plant them out – simply crack the shells and the roots will grow through! This saves you from potentially damaging the young seedlings – and the shells will break down.

2) The eggshells are biodegradable, so there is no waste.

3) The seeds benefit from the nutrients in the eggshells. Eggshell contains a good quantity of bioavailable minerals – especially calcium; a mineral that is not only essential for humans, but essential to all stages of plant growth.

4) You don’t have to use plastic pots, so it’s eco-friendly! Another win for the zero-waste home ;)

5) It’s free!

6) It’s fun!
