Eggshells are good things. Many flower lovers already know that eggshells are very useful when growing flowers. In addition to eggshells, the raw eggs inside are also a magical tool for growing flowers. Using them to grow flowers can save money on fertilizers, and the effect is very good. So when we use eggs at home, what do we need to do to maximize its effect?

The first method: using egg shells to ferment the soil

Many times we will find that the soil for growing flowers lacks sufficient nutrients, but it is not time to change the pots. At this time, we can actually use egg shells to improve the problem of insufficient soil nutrients.

We must first clean the collected egg shells thoroughly, and then break them into pieces, preferably crumbs, and then pour them into the potting soil and mix them. The soil can absorb the nutrients in the egg shells and increase its air permeability and water permeability.

After that, we add some water, and the soil will become very fertile. But one thing to note is that before use, you must make sure to clean the eggshells and leave no egg liquid. Otherwise, after mixing them into the potting soil, it will easily cause pests and diseases in the later stage, causing the roots and stems of the plants to be eroded by insects.

The second method: egg shell insect repellent

Because the eggshell is sharp around the edges, many soft-bodied insects are very afraid of it, so we can take advantage of this shortcoming of insects to use eggshells to repel insects. You still need to clean the eggshells first, and there must be no liquid residue. Then cut the eggshells into pieces, and then insert them directly into the potting soil, about one-third of the way in, with the rest exposed.

In this way, the exposed part of the eggshell is sharper. After inserting it in the flowerpot, insects such as snails will not be able to crawl to the roots of the plant, and it will not cause insect pests. Moreover, it can be replaced frequently without worrying about waste.

The third method: growing flowers in eggshells

Because the eggshell is round, we can often keep the normal eggshell when we break the eggshell, so we can collect this kind of eggshell. Then we clean it and dry it in the sun. After it is roughly dried, we can find a foam box and stand the eggshells in the box in order.
