   Dear Angelo,
   Crushed eggshells provide calcium to growing plants and can be applied throughout both growth cycles (vegetative and flowering). Dry out your eggshells and pulverize them using a blender or coffee grinder. Mix them into your soil or put them directly into your compost pile to break down over time. Another great trick is to use hand-crushed eggshells around the stems of young plants in order to create a „moat“ of sharp-edged particles that soft-bellied insects and slugs are reluctant to cross. As the shells break down, they release their calcium to the root zone while protecting your foliage from pest damage.
