Don’t toss those eggshells into the trash - toss them into your garden.
Crushed eggshells deter slugs, cutworms and other crawling critters that are munching away at your plants. They HATE crawling over those sharp edges and will turn around and head for softer pastures. Eggshells also break down and infuse the soil with some grow-friendly nutrients.
While you’re at it, toss your banana peels in there too. Aphids hate bananas. Chop them up and bury them under the soil a bit so you don’t attract rodents. Your garden’s breakfast will be complete with some coffee grounds. They help to balance acidity in the soil, especially around azaleas and hydrangeas.
