Eggshells

Don't throw these in the bin! Store them in a dry place and once they have dried out, crush them in a dry cloth or newspaper then throw them into a (recycled) container.  Once you have collected enough, use them in your garden in veggie or flower beds to help deter snails, grubs etc.  It is also apparently good for the soil! DID YOU KNOW? Egg shells are 95% calcium carbonate, a mineral that is very important for nutrition and agriculture. Note: When handling eggshells, remember to wash your hands (and cloth) afterwards and do not store eggshells in large batches for long periods of time.
