Comments on: Eggshells in your garden, the benefits for growers. http://www.allotments.ie/?p=515 Growing vegetables & fruit!

Then crush the eggshells with your hands and throw them in a kitchen grinder. Out comes the finest powder you have ever seen. Wet the plant roots and dip them in the powder before planting. This will give the plant healthier roots and as a result better plants. I’ve been using eggshells for years, no need to wash them

I'm printing them and putting them in a binder - I've got a bad memory! I've got a 3' deck and had decided to put my hand to growing more vegetables there this year. I only grew tomatoes last year. Your articles are very timely for me. Great articles. Very helpful. I’m printing them and putting them in a binder - I’ve got a bad memory!
