Feeding with egg shells ?

I came across an article today that said that if you cook egg shells, you can use the water to feed your plants because of the calcium . However the article was about regular plants not weed, so my question is: does sit work for pot plants?

Hiya !

Its calcium carbonate, which is not very soluble at all in water, and unusually it is less soluble in hot water than cold water.

when you put eggshells on the compost heap, you find the in the soil, they do break down but it takes years.

if you used a bit of fizzy water that would help as the weak carbonic acid from the dissolved C02 will dissolve more.

As for the last question, pretty much anything that works on plants in general will work on weed plants.

... for best results, place your shells in a 350 deg oven for 1hr, grind them up and place in your compost pile. They are sloooow release. Not what you are looking for.

Put the fine grind oven baked eggshells in a weak acid solution like vinegar, citric acid solution or lactic acid bacteria until they disolve. And the dilute this as needed.

I knew that but... I would only use it outdoors. Hence why I never mentioned it.

A lot of indoor growers I know use the egg shell toasted first then they use vinegar to make CalPhos to spray plants with. I was thinking about maybe trying it to see if it makes a difference because I hear from others it works great.

It works. It’s just that cooking them to make the calcium more available stinks worse than beer farts. It’s a horrible smell and you have to cook them for a while to get rid of the stuff you don’t want.
