Eggshell Seed Starters
Eggshells make excellent biodegradable containers for starting seedlings. Carefully crack your eggs in half, clean the shells, and fill them with potting soil. Place a seed in each shell and keep them in a sunny spot. When the seedlings are strong enough, plant the entire shell into the ground. The eggshells will gradually break down, enriching the soil with calcium. For extra stability, place the eggshells in an egg carton or small container to keep them upright while the seeds grow. Water gently to avoid breaking the shells prematurely. This method is perfect for herbs, flowers, and even small vegetable seeds.
