What do you do with your eggshells?

I was told by a friend that eggshells that have been dried and pounded can be used to ward off lizards. I used to use dried eggshells for my children's art. I am not sure about syminala. But that's is what I use eggshells for.

I don't throw away eggshells, i put them on my vegetable plants but you have to crush it first and this is good as slug deterrent, it is best also especially on tomatoe plants. It can also be used as chicken feed because of the minerals in it.

Salmonella is no concern of ours. We do use eggshells and any other non meat or dairy thing in the compost bin for the garden. The carton is biodegradable also, newspapers etc. Not sure what you have as needing advice. We even eat the cookie dough with eggs in it. We are pretty healthy and are not super cleana phobics. So we enjoy ourselves. It is amazing that there is so many of us with so many things so bad for us now. Good luck with what you do.

In regards to my eggshells, I put them in the garden to help fertilize it. I have never heard of this sickness, but I do not eat that many eggs now that I am living back in the city, but the doctor recommends not to eat too many eggs or dairy products.

If you wash them--just water--so they don't have egg in them any longer, you can crumble them up and put them around your plant stems--they will help keep slugs from getting on to the stems and lower leaves of your veggies in your garden. Other than that, use them in your compost heap, they are organic material and will at some point break down into trace amounts of calcium. Draw a face on them, and put a little potting soil down in it, plant grass seed, or a vine or whatever you want...and let their "hair" grow.:) Grind them up and mix them with potting soil for extra nutrients for your plants (works best with remains from peeled boiled eggs...use the water too!) Break it into smaller pieces, place food coloring in baggies, add some shells, mix good, lay on towel to dry. Make different colors, and let a child make a mosiac-like picture!

I put my eggshells in the garden. They are good for the soil, although they take a long time to break down. They are also supposed to be a slug deterrant, but I haven't really found that to be the case. I am not worried about salmonella once the shells are out on the weather of the garden.

I put my eggshells down my garbage disposal. but Ive heard that its not good to do that. But Im doing it anyway.LOL Ive never had any problems with it. And when I didnt have a garbage disposal I threw them in my trash can. And thats my story and Im sticking to it.LOL
