If you’re a fan of eggs, you’re not alone. Besides being a tasty and nutritious choice, eggshells come with some surprising benefits. Before you toss them out, here are seven reasons to consider keeping those eggshells around.
1. Natural Pest Repellent
Got slugs and snails wreaking havoc in your garden? Crushed eggshells scattered around your plants can help. These critters dislike the rough texture, so eggshells can keep them at a distance naturally.
2. Deer Deterrent
Living near wooded areas can mean deer snacking on your plants. But scattered eggshells may be the answer. Deer dislike the scent of eggshells, making this an easy way to keep them away from your garden.
3. Bird Attractor
Eggshells can help attract birds to your garden, which not only adds to the ambiance but also helps with insect control. Sprinkle a few crushed eggshells around, and you’ll likely see more feathered visitors keeping pests in check.
4. Soil Enricher
Eggshells are a great source of calcium and other nutrients that improve soil quality. Adding crushed eggshells to your garden beds can give your plants a little nutritional boost, helping them grow stronger.
5. Calcium Boost for Vegetables
Certain vegetables, like tomatoes and peppers, need extra calcium to avoid issues like blossom-end rot. Mixing crushed eggshells into the soil around their roots can help keep your veggies healthy, flavorful, and firm.
With these simple tricks, your leftover eggshells can be a natural boost for your garden!

Good. Kambria Darby was arre sted in Byram, Mississippi after her 2 year old son needed paramedics’ attention for ‘freezing & shaking.’
Darby has since compared herseIf to Jesus in a Facebook post, saying she was being done like Jesus was. The boy was taken by Child Protective Services and later released to a relative with his two siblings.
Darby is facing up to six years in jaiI if she is convicted for neglecting her child.
Darby claims she did nothing wrong.
They did Jesus the same way, he felt sick to his stomach as well; he didn’t want to go through it. My village ain’t gone play about my 3 & neither do I! Again I can’t say everything it’s a legal matter but my kids are not a charity case, they are not negIected, and I am not mentally ill! Stop it with the defamation!”
Reports claim temperatures were below 20 degrees Fahrenheit while the baby was in nothing but a diaper.
The woman who tried protecting the chiId and filmed the encounter, Felicia Nicole, worked at the Walmart where this happened.
She has since been fired. Walmart doesn’t care about their employees! I was only trying to help, she said.
