Compost

There’s been a lot of debate about adding eggshells to compost. But they’re a perfectly safe and healthy addition to your compost bin or pile.

Just remember that the shells from eggs are very slow to break down, so they should be washed to get rid of any egg residue that might attract unwanted pests. All you have to do is dry and crush them into tiny pieces.

The eggshells will likely still be visible in the final compost, but they won’t harm the finished product. If you feel like the other tips we give you aren’t for you, then composting them is an effortless way to return much-needed nutrients to the soil.

This way, both you and your garden can enjoy the health benefits of nature’s perfect food: the egg!
