Why Should You Keep Your Egg Shells?

Why Should You Keep Your Egg Shells???

Because it's eggcellent for your garden and health of your plants!!!

Dry the shells before you crush them....

It's as easy as drying the moisture on the inside first and then popping them in a bag and crush them like you would biscuits for chocolate fudge cake. However if you're like me, you'll take great pleasure in drying them in a container on the windowsill then using the back of an ice cream scoop, crush them and grind them like a pesto and mortar. I love the crunching crushing sound it makes.

Free Fertilizer....

You can also leave them a little more coarse and spread them around the bottom of your plants. Not only do they provide the soil with calcium but they form a sharp spikey barrier around your plants to deter any pesky insects.

I hesitated because I'm lazy and the very thought of breaking a sweat makes me break into a sweat. However I hear exercising releases endorphins and creates a feel good feeling! I'll let you know...

Sharpie/Vivid Coffee Cups

There's so many pins on Pinterest about the same thing that you could literally read through hundreds of them before you find one that actually works. And this little DIY project was no different! Thank goodness the cups were cheap from The Warehouse at $1 each. You could also get them from Kmart . If you want to practice before you start drawing on your new cups I would recommend getting them from a thrift store or op shop for a quarter of the price and practicing on them first. TIP #1: ALWAYS GO FOR A CUP THAT HAS AS LITTLE GLAZE ON IT AS POSSIBLE. No matter which pin I've read and experimented with, they have all said the same thing. It is best to get cheap cups (which is faaaantastic cos I'm all about being on a budget) as they don't have as much glaze on them like a more expensive cup would have. The glaze causes cracking and bubbling in the design!! Not handy!!! 😳 I wanted the cups to be dishwasher proof and scrubby brush proof . They had to withsta
