Why are eggshells good for a flower or vegatable garden or are they?
Eggshells are 93% calcium carbonate. In addition to the calcium, the eggshells contain about 1% nitrogen, about a half-percent phosphoric acid, and other trace elements that make them a practical fertilizer.

Reply:Eggshells release calcium and other minerals into the soil as they break down, and that's beneficial to the soil and plants.
Reply:I've often heard they are good for gardens and composts. Believe it or not, I've heard many people say to bury a fish in your flowerbed or garden. You can research this if you don't believe me. I'm sure you'll find more information on this.



Anything good for a compost should be good for flowerbeds.
