I lost the information on saving egg shells and planting them with tomato plants. How do I do it, etc.?

Putting a handful of egg shells in the hole with a tomato plant really does help with blossom rot. I save all of my egg shells.
After cracking the eggs, I put the shells in a bowl of water and use my finger to gently wash the membrane out. Then I drain them and place them on something to dry. It takes a day or so unless I place them near heat.
When they are dry, I crush them with my hands and store in a gallon zip lock bag. When the bag gets full, I put it on the shelf in my storage closet. So far, I have saved 1 1/2 gallons of egg shells to put in the holes with tomato and pepper plants this spring. By then I should have a good amount saved up.
Egg shells give the plant calcium and it's also a great way to recycle egg shells.
Mine are already planted, will it do any good to scatter shells on the ground around my tomatoes?
What if your tomatoes are already planted like mine? I have the shells. Can I still use for them?
