13 reasons you shouldn’t be throwing your eggshells away

Eggshells enrich soil with calcium and trace minerals.
Crush them and sprinkle them into your garden or mix them into potting soil — your plants will thank you!

💧 4. Soothe Skin Irritations

Crush some eggshells and soak them in apple cider vinegar for a few days.
This calcium-infused solution can help calm minor skin irritations or insect bites.

🌾 5. Improve Plant Drainage

Placing crushed eggshells at the bottom of planting holes improves air circulation and drainage.
They’ll gradually decompose and release nutrients into the soil.
