Get your garden started early by planting your seeds in eggshells indoors before the weather permits outdoor growth. Not only are eggshells easily accessible (you probably have eggs in your fridge right now), but they’re also healthy for your seedlings! Eggshells contain lots of calcium, which is necessary for plant growth. (Eggshells also make great compost!)
Simply clean out a used eggshell and plant your seedling inside. You can even use a permanent marker to label the outside of the eggshell to differentiate between your seedlings. Then, when you’re ready to transfer to your outside garden, the plant can stay inside the eggshell and continue to receive nutrients from it!
A great alternative to eggshells is citrus peel seedlings.
