In this video I show you how I convert common egg shells into a water soluble calcium concentrate that you should be using on your tomatoes and other vegetables such as cucumbers and melons.

I've always pulverized my egg shells in a Ninja Nutribullet and just sprinkled them in the planting hole. I think I'll give your version a try. Thanks

From what I've looked up, that will work over much time, but for immediate benefit, convert to a form they can absorb ASAP :)

The egg shells and vinegar react together to balance out the PH, And end of the day it is a spoonful per gallon anyways. My tomatoes did not show any signs of issue, the opposite, they 'greened' up afterwards (after about a week), not sure if related, but my tomatoes and cucumbers are happy. None of my tomatoes split so far, so that is a good sign.

So you added the concentrate to water? like the stuff that's in the toilets? 😁😁 Tomatoes grow really good when you throw a dead fish in the ground before you plant them. Egg shell mix is good too 👍👍. We've done blood meal and bone meal before too. Even plants aren't vegetarian 😅😅

Never thought of it as plants being carnivores before, thanks for putting that in my brain. I added two table spoons per watering can, then filled with water before applying it. Hope all is well JW!
