SAVE THOSE EGG SHELLS.

      Crushed egg shells are good for your kitchen garden because of the high amount of calcium they contain.  Just rinse the shells to prevent odor and when dry store them in a large zip log baggie.  After collecting a sufficient amount, crush them up and sprinkle them in your garden.        The shells will discourage snails and slugs.  Deer tend to avoid the area also because they do not like the odor of albumin.
      When planting new seedlings, put a bit of finely ground up egg shell into the hole before planting.  You can use a bullet or a food processor to grind the shells finely.  You will be amazed at the improvement of your produce.
