I saw this video was 27 minutes long and was thinking I’d be bouncing away after a few minutes because it would be a long, drawn out recitation of other “using eggshells in the garden “ videos I’ve seen. I have to say I was completely wrong. I was thoroughly interested from start to finish and was surprised that 27 minutes had passed by so quickly. Thanks for a super informative video!

I have a blender that can't hold any liquid but it's good for grinding egg shells and dried veggies for my homemade Super Mix Fertilizer. The results of the Calcium test was surprising.

I watched this 20 minutes after it was posted and immediately went and got my baled egg shells that I was gonna grind for my birds to re-consume and instead because of how many shells I have I split the batch and made fertilizer! Thank you so much!

Best video I have seem on this topic.

I actually have a similar test kit, I might have some chemistry to do! How fun, and useful!

Thanks for sharing. Currently I use powdered calcium made from eggs, but I never thought of making it into a liquid.

For sure do it, but first understand why you want it readily available versus slow release.

What a cool experiment!

Awesome video! I didn't know about adding vinegar to egg shells or testing the calcium level. I just boil my eggshells, strain and reserve the water, hand crush the shells, and dry in the oven. Then, I grind to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle. Sometimes I sprinkle the powder around the base of plants or mix it into soil if I'm just starting to plant. I will definitely try making this solution 😁

Grate show. I suggest you wait for a 7 to 10 days before filtering and see if anything changes. Thank you for sharing. Nice detailed work.

Interesting stuff 🤔

awesome experiment...

Very interesting. We compost our egg shells but maybe we need to try this too.

what a very good instructive well doing experiment,,many thanks, no one do this on others egg shell video ,now we can know how many ppm we have ,,wow!!

Thank you! We also did a follow up shorts video to prove that the pH wasn’t a problem either, if you would like to check that out.

Thank you! The Garden Like A Viking site creates this calcium fertilizer and JDam fertilizers, fish, grass, etc. Perhaps you can find and interview him or get to know Nate Muri, the Viking! He’s got many KZread people who interact with him. 🌱🫛🌱

I've seen the process of making the raw calcium solution previously but getting to see it done in such a controlled way with the testing was really cool. thank you

That was the Acetate crashing out, as its insoluble in that solution, the calcium is seperated from the acetic acid and the acetate drops out, and the Ca+ is kept with formula to exchange electrons with the neutraliser.

I don't know what they h*ll that means, but super cool that you do!!!

That' very interesting

This is fantastic 🌷

Thanks for watching our video and sharing your feedback with us!

Before pouring that calcium slurry on your plants, test the ph. You don't want to kill your plants.

Someone said it should have a ph of 6.

Another really awesome video. Awesome views, hit the like button! It's an awesome video! ? I wonder what the acid level was after reacting? Litmus test.

I don't spray my leafs anymore I burn several plants, everything I put yo my plants go to the dirt

What cages do you recommend?

That’s interesting. So the vinegar then do you add to water before using it to fertilize? Cuz I use vinegar to kill thistles in my grass and flowerbeds.

The vinegar reacts with the eggshells to make a totally new chemical compound (calcium acetate). It is not vinegar anymore. It HAS to be diluted. 1 tsp/1 gal.

Maybe the vinegar inhibited the change

Where do I purchase testers from

You really know how to drag things on.... and on.. and on... 😱😵‍💫😱

Well, what can I use if I don't have quail eggs?

any eggs

can you do one test for me ??? try to put egg shells in humic acid solution and see results. i hope you read this 😇

Sooooo eggshell and vinegar or water??

Vinegar for sure! The water takes much much longer.
