Eggshells for the Garden

Another of the things from my kitchen that I save for use in the garden is eggshells.  I rinse them well, and save them in a plastic bag until I have enough to bother with (or feel the need for them). Then I use a rolling pin to crush them while they're still in the bag.  You want them crushed pretty well to a powder. You could also put the shells in a plastic bucket and grind them with the bottom of a glass jar or another hard object as a make-shift mortar and pestle.
