Editor's Note: The eggshells add calcium to the soil.

Eggshells are good if they are composted or crushed and mixed with coffee grounds and grass cuttings for the garden. (Go easy on the grass cuttings here, a lawn does fine with mulched grass repeatedly during the summer, but your garden will be buried!) I'm interested in trying the "freeze" method on the coffee grounds for this winter!

I hate plant pests -- grounds & egg shells are great for compost. I would NEVER use milk --that's a new one on me cj in camas wa Report Spam or Abuse RE: Coffee Grounds and Egg Shells Post By mini (Guest Post) (03/08/2007) I was just looking for an organic fungus treatment and I found that milk does the trick. 1 part milk to 9 parts water sprayed on the fungus. Maybe the suggetion to use milk is to hinder the growth of fungus? Why not try? (now I was looking to see if I could use egg shells for planting seedlings[yes, you can]. that's how i found this thread). Report Spam or Abuse using milk and egg mixture for gardening? Post By fabian (Guest Post) (03/08/2007) I was told to use eggs and milk to prep my soil for gardening what do you think? Editor's Note: I've never heard this. Egg shells and coffee grounds maybe. Anybody hear this? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Coffee Grounds and Egg Shells Post By Karen Zapotok (Guest Post) (08/31/2006) Hello, What temperature would I bake the egg shells and how long. I have been told this is better than raw eggs shell. If this is true, why is it better. Thank you for your time.

Put in freezer until you are ready to use, then unthaw and use. Egg shells will be fine, just let dry and crush.

How should I save the egg shells and grounds if I am not ready to use the mixture just yet? Report Spam or Abuse
