Eggshells are often tossed into the trash without a second thought, yet they can be surprisingly useful in everyday home and garden routines. Because they contain small amounts of minerals—especially calcium—many people choose to repurpose them rather than waste them. With a bit of preparation, eggshells can become a natural, eco-friendly addition to household practices that support sustainability and reduce waste.
See continuation on next pageIn gardening, crushed eggshells are commonly used as a gentle deterrent for certain pests. Their coarse texture may make it uncomfortable for slugs or snails to cross areas where the shells have been sprinkled. Some gardeners also place sterilized, finely crushed eggshells outdoors as an occasional source of calcium for wild birds, especially during nesting season. Additionally, plants that prefer soil with gradual calcium enrichment, such as tomatoes and peppers, can benefit from eggshells worked into the soil over time.
