Egg shells can add calcium to your soil. Certain plants : Tomatoes and peppers really like calcium and tend to produce more fruit (and fruit without blossum rot) when they have adequate calcium uptake.
This last winter I saved all of my egg shells in a freezer bag. Today I'm going to take them all out, spread them out on a cookie sheet and bake them at 350 F for 10 minutes. Then I'll let them cool and and grind them up a bit. You could put them in a spice / coffeegrinder if you have an extra one handy. This weekend, I'll sprinkle the shells around the area where my tomatoes are!
WATCH OUT! soon you'll have lushious tomatoes and peppers.
