Why Choose Eggshell Powder for Your Plants?
Boosts Calcium for Stronger Plants
Eggshell powder is an excellent source of calcium, crucial for building strong plant structures and preventing issues like blossom end rot, while supporting the healthy growth of roots, stems, and leaves.
Balances Soil Acidity
It naturally reduces soil acidity, making it ideal for various soil conditions, ensuring your plants can absorb nutrients effectively.
Slow, Steady Nutrient Release
Unlike chemical fertilisers, eggshell powder releases nutrients gradually, providing continuous support to your plants over time.

Dual Use – Fertilizer and Pest Control
Not only does eggshell powder nourish your plants, but it also deters pests like snails and slugs when sprinkled around plants. It's a natural way to keep your garden pest-free without chemicals.
How to Use Eggshell Powder
For Soil
Mix 1-2 tablespoons of eggshell powder into the soil at the base of smaller plants, and up to 1/4 cup for larger plants. Apply every 2-3 weeks for continuous nourishment.
For Seedlings
Add a small amount to the germination mix or potting soil in seedling trays to supply the calcium essential for early plant growth.
Top Dressing
Sprinkle around established plants and gently mix it into the top layer of soil.
Watering
After applying the eggshell powder, water your plants thoroughly to help the powder settle into the soil and release its nutrients.
For Compost
Add to your compost to enhance its calcium content and improve overall soil health.
Eggshell Powder Solution:
Create a nutrient-rich eggshell solution by adding eggshell powder to boiling water and allowing it to sit overnight. Pour the solution into a sprayer and apply it to your plants every two weeks. For a stronger mix, cover and store for one week, stirring daily. Spray this solution on the soil around plant roots or use it as a foliar spray for a quick nutrient boost.
