Egg Shells for the Garden


People come into my kitchen and always say "What's with the shells?"

I have to stop thinking "Duh Garden!"

Ah Yes, I remember back in the day when I was just a wee gardener and did not know the egg shell trick. You save your egg shells and crunch them up and scatter them where ever there are snails. I am sorry to say but it slits there little necks!
Look when it comes to my garden snails are not allowed. And snails we avoid stepping on them because of the slime. 

They leave a wet trail on the cement. The worse is I can not step on them because of the awful crunch. And really who picks them up and throws them out in the street besides my father?

We do not eat them well I do not. I will let the French keep that habit.




Look this works and please do not tell me I should not eat so many eggs. Blame the chickens. Also, egg shells are great for compost piles. 

Happy Gardening
