Eggshells are a rich source of calcium and they can be used as a fertilizer for plants. Other nutrients present in eggshells include potassium, phosphorous and magnesium. Deficiency of calcium causes blossom rot disease in plants. Using eggshells in your garden once a month can help to avoid calcium deficiency. They also help to lower soil acidity and encourage root growth. Eggshells take a long time to decompose, so its best not to add crushed eggshells to your garden.
