Methods of using eggshells for gardening
About these, do you know? Here are the details regarding gardening常识 (knowledge) with eggshells:
There are two approaches to gardening with eggshells: one is using the eggshell as a container for plants, and the other is using it as a fertilizer. Although both involve using eggshells for gardening, the directions are completely different. Let's talk about them.
One, using eggshells as containers for gardening
This concept is mainly applied to succulents. Some gardeners use eggshells as vessels for growing succulents, creating a different visual effect. Here we mainly discuss some key points and provide some images for reference.
Note: When making them, the egg whites inside the shells must be thoroughly cleaned, as incomplete cleaning can lead to decay, produce an unpleasant smell, or even breed maggots, especially in the summer. So when using eggshells as containers, remember to clean them thoroughly.
Two, using eggshells as fertilizer
Some gardeners simply place eggshells in the flowerpot, which often results in an unpleasant smell or the breeding of maggots. This method is incorrect because the remaining egg whites inside the shells can easily decompose. The correct steps are:
(1) Place the eggshells outside to dry in the sun; after one to two days, the eggshells will become dry and brittle, then break them into small pieces (some people also clean the shells and then dry them).
(2) Put the small pieces into a beverage bottle or bowl and crush the eggshells with chopsticks or a small stick.
(3) Move the topsoil of the flowerpot, bury the crushed eggshells, and then cover them with soil, allowing them to be absorbed slowly.
Ps: The main component of eggshells is calcium carbonate, which can adjust the pH level of the soil.
