Eggshell Powder – 500g | Natural Calcium Source for Plants

GREEN GARDENS Eggshell Powder is a natural calcium source for plants, prepared from finely ground eggshells. It is useful for gardeners who want to recycle a natural material and support long-term soil and plant health.

Eggshell powder is mainly a slow-release calcium source, so it works best as a supportive soil amendment, not as an instant fertilizer. It can be used in potting mixes, compost, raised beds, grow bags, and for preparing calcium extract with white vinegar.

How to Use

1. In Potting Mix / Soil

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

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 your compost pile or compost bin. 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/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.
