Old egg shells help the garden

Another one for the Gardeners  - Crush your eggshells and put them in the bottom of planting holes in the garden - Two really cool reasons:

1) A lot of veggies (tomatoes, peppers, etc...) need calcium to achieve full flavor potential and a lot of soil (in america especially) is lacking in calcium... this is a GREAT way to supplement

2) They deter Slugs and Snails from eating your seedlings at the root. They have soft undersides and can't slither across anything sharp.

P.S. - If you have a couple "big" shells around. You can plant the seeds IN the empty egg shell then plant the whole thing in the ground... kinda like the tip from a couple days ago with the citrus fruits
