Uses for eggshells

 

Do you just toss your eggshells in the trash or do you use them to benefit your homestead? We save our eggshells in a bucket for a week or so and then dry them out in the oven. Sometimes, we just toss them in the compost whole or we grind them up very small and add them to our chicken feed to add extra calcium for the hens. These particular eggshells will be ground up to be mixed with other ingredients for our tomato fertilizer.  We grind them and put them into a glass jar until we need to make the tomato fertilizer.

 

If you have any more ideas, please feel free to share.

 Be Mine......

I am a practical person and like to be given things I will be use. I don't like James spending money on things that I won't use or just cause more clutter (we have enough around here). I don't care much for fresh flowers because they just die. I don't need candy (trying to lose weight). Last year, they bought me canning jars for Mothers Day. I was one happy mama. Add in the fact that we don't have money to spend on such items, I was one happy bride when my hubby gave me one of his homemade baskets for Valentine's Day. He custom made it for me. I love green. So, he used green raffia to make it.He couldn't have said, "I love you" anymore than he did. Yay! I finally got one of his beautiful tortilla baskets. Now, I must put this thing to use....lol. I hope your special someone made you feel special on Valentines Day.
