The main component of eggshells is calcium carbonate, which regulates the pH of the soil.? Eggshells contain more than 95% minerals, mainly calcium carbonate (83~85%) and protein (15~17%), which can promote plant growth.

Role:

One, the eggshell as a container to raise flowers

This idea is mainly in the succulent plants to show, there are flower friends with eggshells as a vessel to raise succulents, visually there is a different feeling, we are here to say that some of the key points, and then with some diagrams for the reference of flower friends.

Note: When making the eggshells to clean up the egg white, because if not cleaned up may lead to rot, odor, and even maggots, especially in the summer, so when using eggshells as a container, remember to always clean it.

Two, the eggshell as fertilizer

Some flower friends directly put the eggshell in the pot, the result is either stinky, or maggots, this practice is wrong, because the eggshell inside because there is no get clean egg white, so it is easy to rot. The right way to do it is:

(1) put the eggshells outside to dry; one to two days later, the eggshells will become dry and brittle, and then broken into small pieces; (there are some who are concerned about the eggshells washed and dried)

(2) put the small pieces of the drink bottle or bowl, with chopsticks or a small stick to the eggshells pounded;

(3) open the pot of the surface layer of mud, the mashed eggshells will be buried in it, and then filled with soil, and the eggshells will be buried in it. and then fill it with soil and let it absorb slowly.

Expanded information:

One, egg shells to raise flowers secret common sense:

1, Compost

Life of those discarded eggshells can be washed, dried and crumbled (the finer the better), talk into the compost bin, is a very good compost material, can increase the soil in the calcium, pay attention not to mix with alkaline soil on the line.

2, to stop the nasty little creepy crawlies

but can be dried and crumbled, and then placed in the snails and slugs (slugs) infested places, eggshells can be repelled snails and slugs, the principle is that they do not like the jagged egg shell pineapple, the debris is the most effective. (Most other small mollusks are useful)

3, seedling small containers

Egg shells are also very good seedling pots, very mini, of course, need to be careful to get into a container, and the bottom of the bottom to be perforated, used to drain the water, there is no holes in the seedling is very difficult to survive. When the seedlings grow to a large enough to transplant (grow 3~4 true leaves), with egg shells transplanted to the soil on the line, you can also peel off the shell.

4, the benefits of tomatoes

When planting tomatoes, you can add a small amount of crushed eggshells (sun-dried and crushed) at the bottom, which will provide tomatoes with a large number of minerals and trace elements, the effect on the tomato is relatively slow, but very effective.

Helps tomato healthy growth, increase the plant's resistance to disease, a lot of flower friends raised tomato buds rot is because of the lack of calcium!

5, natural fertilizer

Eggshells can also be used as mineral fertilizer, first of all, wash the eggshells, sun-dried and crushed, crushed into as much as possible, so that the effect will be better, the main effect on the ornamental plants is the best, (like the picture above as crushed on the same), directly sprinkled in the soil, the effect of the effect will soon be!

Eggshell fertilizer is mainly effective for olives, oleander, zucchini and tomatoes.

6. Benefits for fine scallions

Eggshell operation is also highly recommended in the maintenance of fine scallions, according to the method described above, crushed eggshells into the roots of the scallions, they will gradually decompose and provide calcium to the scallions.

Two, the role of eggshell powder:

1, soil mixed with crushed eggshell powder, can improve the physical properties of the soil, the soil is more loose, both breathable and drainage, conducive to the growth of the roots, the roots of the strong flowers and leaves. At the same time, the soil is loose and breathable, which is conducive to the growth of microbial activities in the soil, the organic matter in the soil decomposition of nutrients that can be absorbed and utilized by the flowers, thus enabling the flowers to grow vigorously.

2, eggshell powder contains some nutrients necessary for the growth of flowers, phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, silicon, etc., the most important of which is phosphorus and calcium, phosphorus is an important element of the nucleus of the plant cells, calcium is a component of the gel layer in the plant cell wall, which promotes the division of the cells, promote the development of the root system, but also improve the plant drought resistance, cold resistance.

Broken eggshells seeped into the soil, under the action of organic acids and microorganisms secreted by the roots, slowly degraded, releasing phosphorus, calcium and other elements, and then absorbed by the root system for plant growth.
