  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.
