Don't throw those egg shells away! Rinse thoroughly, removing membrane inside, air dry thoroughly and put into a zippered plastic bag. Crush with rolling pin. Store in freezer until ready to add to your garden or compost pile. The crushed egg shells add valuable nutrients to the amended soil. Or save them to form a circle on top of the ground surface around tender plant stems such as peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage - slugs and cutworms won't cross them.
