Get Crackin'

Quiche, omelets, pies, cakes, french toast... it's very easy to go through eggs!

Hang onto those egg shells because they are gold for gardeners. You can put spent eggshells in a brown paper bag in a ventilated area (I have mine in the mudroom) and they will never mold or smell. You can smash up the eggshells and use them to compost calcium-loving shrubs and plants.

They can also be used to create a crushed eggshell ring around plants that are slug/snail prone since they don't like to crawl over the sharp eggshells to get to the tender plants shoots.

Don't you love it when frugal wisdom you learned from your parents really works?!

The Lazy fun is grabbing the hammer and smashing them up in their paper bag before I take them out to the garden. Great way to take out your frustration and it only takes a few minutes!
