keep your empty egg shells!!   

Your welcome, your plants will love you for it..:)

absolutely!.. well u can just crush them if it's for the soil..I put in a coffee grinder cause I don't have a blender and I want them in powder form.

Once they are in a powder form it's edible and fantastique way to get your animals some pure calcium. Your welcome sugerplum :)

Great..your plants will love you for it!

Your very welcome. I never thought my idea about keeping the egg shells discussion would draw such interest. It's great to see that people are interested in recycling.

You didn't read my dear..hahahah..I said to pass them in a coffee grinder or blender..this way they turn into a fine powder and doesn't taste anything, actually they take the taste of the salade. Of course your dog would eat it as its in powder form and put in the meat..wouldn't taste. My cats gobble up their meal and haven't turned up their nose to their cat salad. lol..

yes i read your post honey, i said that i didn't care if it was run through the grinder or not. lol i just do not know about eating egg shells, if i didn't know that i was eating them, then somebody told me, now that would be a different story.

well my dear..read hahaha what you buy and I think the egg shells are more appetizing than all the chemicals put to preserve and give taste to the food. hahahah.

It becomes a powder and you can't even taste it as the powder takes the taste of the food.

I rather someone tell me that its powdered egg shells than when one day I was eating at a friend from pakistan's place and just loved those round balls..until he told me they were FRIED GOATS EYES...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkk hahah

Yes sure does..

I'm sure there are many things we can do with egg shells..Your welcome

hahahha..that is really cute for an excuse!!! Did she bite! Or rather swallow that excuse hehehe.
Yes, when I think of the millions of egg shells thrown away that would be great for many uses.

No she never "swallowed" that excuse...lol...She would say we only had enough eggs for breakfast, and i would ask then why did she buy the machine?? Like it had no other uses right!!...lol...Good thing IM not an egg because this conversation is "cracking" me up!!!

hahahha..real funny..a real yolk hehehe. Good thing you are not an egg..cause you end up in my coffee grinder hahahaha..

Just dont forget to add the coffee beans, and later a little hot water, cream and sugar and I will be just fine!!..hahaha

ABSOLUTELY! Grt 4 indoor plants. When you break your eggs..put the shell in a jar and let it dry..I fill up the jar by crushing them down until I can't no more then later I grind them to powder.

I feed my plants, my cats, myself. I mix in dry food for the cats outdoors and they come back for more..I notice that the food disappears even faster.

I make cat salads and did one today and put in it and they gobbled up everything. I also put a teaspoon once a week in their water.

If I cook soups I also put some in there. I will take a teaspoon and mix it in water and drink it.

Oh great! I will try using them on my pot plants then.
Hope it does not make them grow too fast though as my apartment is small - don't want to get pushed out if they start taking over

Thanks for this tip
and I will definately not throw any more shells away from now on!

eheheh no they won't make them grow too fast..just put a tblspoon put in warm water and swish around ..then feed your plants with the water. I always mix 3 tblespoons when I repot or buy new plants ones I put some at the bottom of the pot and on the top I make holes in the earth and fill it with the egg shell powder then cover and water.

Everytime I water my plants I do that and people always ask me how do I keep my plants so beautiful..I say..lots of love and nutrients. When I buy sardines I crush also the backbone into powder and put that in too.

Once a week I also take a tablespoon of white vinegar and put it in my water feeder and feed it to the plants, it kills bacteria and keeps them from rotting.

In my plants that are only in water and shells..once a month I put a capful of peroxide and boy are they beautiful.

When I wash my whites, I put in a cup of peroxide..when the rinse cycle comes then I re rince to put my softner. I have beautiful white clothes and a disinfected washer..hehehe.

I also put a cup of perxoide or epsom salts when I take a bath or do a foot bath.

Back to egg shells..What I do when I break the eggs is pass my fingerin the egg shells and put it on my face..around my eyes and lips especially. Then I wait until its really dry and sponge off then I cream.. little inexpensive tips..lol

Gosh what a lot of lovely tips there . thankyou!

I can now see that I will be using eggs even more often just so that I get more shells available to see how well this works

Thank you once again for sharing!
