How to Use

1. In Potting Mix / Soil

Mix a small quantity of eggshell powder into potting soil, grow bags, raised beds, or containers.

Suggested quantity:
Use lightly and in moderation. For small pots, use a small pinch to 1 teaspoon. For larger pots or grow bags, use 1–2 tablespoons depending on pot size.

2. In Compost

Add eggshell powder to compost piles or compost bins. It will slowly break down and add calcium and minerals to the compost.

3. With White Vinegar – Calcium Extract Method

For a quicker calcium method, mix:

1 part eggshell powder + 10 parts white vinegar

Add vinegar slowly because bubbling or foaming is normal. Keep the jar loosely covered, allow it to react for 5–7 days, then strain and store the liquid.

Usage after preparation:

• Soil drench: 5 ml per 1 litre water

• Foliar spray: 2–3 ml per 1 litre water

• Apply in the morning or evening

• Repeat after 15–20 days if needed

Important Note

Eggshell powder is not a magic fertilizer and it is not an instant cure for blossom end rot. For best results, use it along with:

• consistent watering

• healthy roots

• mulching

• balanced feeding

• good soil care

Use eggshells correctly, not blindly.
