According to experts, about 98% of gardeners use eggshells incorrectly.

Eggshells contain large amounts of calcium. Thanks to the addition of calcium to the soil, the fruits become sweet and do not rot on the bushes. However, simply adding shells to the soil will not be enough, experts say. To do this, you need to make an effective calcium supplement.

To do this, you need to put the shells of 10 eggs in a liter jar and pour in two glasses of vinegar. Vinegar should be 9%. Foam should form in the jar as a result of a chemical reaction. This will create a solution of calcium acetate, which will be much better absorbed by plants than simply sprinkling the soil with egg shells. The resulting solution needs to sit for at least a day.

To feed the plants, you will need to dilute 1 tablespoon of the solution and 1 liter of clean water. Plants need to be watered with this solution once every two weeks. Thanks to this feeding, the fruits will not crack and will not rot on the bushes.
