The egg shell consists of almost 95% of calcium, and it also contains such trace elements as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and others. For this reason, the shell from eggs is a good fertilizer for the garden.And this is an excellent bundle for soil, the container for seedlings and the repeller of harmful insects. But it is impossible to harm plants, useful creatures or spoil the soil.
Even if many people know about the benefits of the eggshell, then few people know how to properly prepare and store it.

To begin with, the shell should be rinsed well with running water, further dry about a day. Then grind to the desired state and put in a cardboard or plastic container.
Large fragments from egg shell can be long in the soil, slowly decaying. To speed up this process and enrich the land with trace elements faster, powder makes powder from the shell. This can be done in two ways.To begin with, a well-dried shell lay down on the material (tissue, adhesive) and passed on it with a rolling pin for a dough or kitchen hammer. Next, to obtain a small fraction, kitchen appliances (combine, coffee grinder, etc.) are used. Put powder into the glass container and closed tightly with a lid.
In order to get a complex drug rich in potassium, phosphorus and magnesium from the shell, it can be baked on a fire or in the furnace with the ash.
