Egg shells - perfect for tomatoes

Of all the fruit and vegetables that I grow during the year - I get most pleasure from Tomatoes. I absolutely love the whole process - from selecting the seeds, germinating, growing the seedlings, transplanting, and then watching them grow to produce fantastic fruit.

Blossom Rot is so annoying. After all the waiting - there is nothing more disappointing to see the fruit die and wither before it gets a chance to develop. The cause of the rot is normally a lack of calcium.

Egg shells are full of calcium and we normally have loads of them being thrown out during the year. (Egg shells are also great at keeping slugs at bay - but we can talk about that again!) However, you need to treat your shells in order to allow the calcium to be released into a usable format.

Gary Pilarchik has created this video to show you how to do it. I highly recommend that you take 7 minutes to watch this!
