Joy Home Remedies Brings You: Bury An Egg In Your Garden Soil and What Happens
A Few Days Later Will Surprise You! Good soil means everything for a gardener
looking to raise healthy, happy plants. While there are certainly countless chemicals
and expensive solutions, there are actually many simple things you can do to boost nutrients
and maintain a successful garden. But do keep in mind that the best ways are
always going to be the most natural ways! Here are 5 genius life hacks that will show
you how to use eggs as a fertilizer for nutrient-rich soil! Number 1 - Whole Egg Fertilizer The solution to a thriving plant may be as
simple as planting a raw egg. As you prepare your pots with soil, simply
include a raw egg at the bottom of each pot. Over time, the eggs will decompose and will
work as a natural fertilizer for the seedlings. The benefits of using whole eggs as fertilizer
are endless! Eggs contain high levels of calcium, and this
is an important nutrient for plants, especially vegetables and fruits. Eggs will leach the calcium into the soil
for root uptake during composting, which can conquer such problems as blossom, end rot. You can also bury a crushed egg, which works
just as good as a whole egg. Number 2 - Eggshell Fertilizer Many gardeners believe that eggshells are
wonderful for use in the garden. Eggshells have nitrogen, calcium, and phosphoric
acid which make them an ideal choice for garden use, as they add nutritional value to the
soil. They also help deter slugs, provide extra
aeration and drainage to the soil. Simply crush the shells and mix them into
the soil. For best results, plan on using 4 to 5 eggs
for each plant you want to fertilize. Number 3 – Crushed Eggshell Fertilizer You can sprinkle some crushed eggshells around
the base of your plant and you do not need to cover the eggshells with soil. As they decompose, they will leach calcium
and other nutrients into the soil. This will help your plants grow into strong,
healthy plants. Number 4 - Eggshell Tea Fertilizer Another way to use eggshells is to boil them,
and use the liquid to water your plants. Eggshell tea fertilizer has increased levels
of calcium and potassium, both of which benefit plants, especially those that have flowers
and fruits. Using the water to irrigate plants provides
an easy way for roots to access these nutrients. Simply crack open some raw eggs, rinse them
with warm water, and let them dry in a sunny spot. When rinsing the shell, run your finger around
the inside of the shell to get rid of any residue. Try to leave the membrane. Most of the nutrients are in this. Then, simply boil 1 gallon of water with 2
tablespoons of crushed eggshells, and save the yolks and whites for breakfast, lunch,
or dinner. You can also make a foliar spray so leaves
will draw the nutrients into the vascular system to utilize both elements. Number 5 – Eggshell Seed Starters You can start seeding in almost anything these
days... But I bet you haven't tried seeding in egg
shells! It is ridiculously easy, and yes, it's even
practical! Start with arranged clean eggshells in an
egg carton. Using a spoon, fill each eggshell, with pre-moistened
seed-starting soil. Place a couple of seeds in each pot, according
to your seed-sowing instructions. Leave the carton in a sunny south-facing window. Lightly mist the soil with a spray-bottle,
every couple of days as needed. A fine mist is all that's needed for young
seedlings. When your seedlings have emerged, snip the
weakest or smallest ones to allow the largest seedlings room to grow. After your seedling has developed its first
set of true leaves, you can transplant it into a larger pot, or plant it directly in
your garden. Gently crush the shell and remove a few shards
around the bottom. You can plant the whole thing this way, and
the eggshell will decompose in the soil, feeding extra nutrients to your seedlings. So, go ahead and bury an egg in your garden
soil, and see what happens a few days later! Thanks for watching! If you think what you’ve learned in this
