2 TOP SECRET GARDENING HACKS FOR CALCIUM + 6 Easy Organic Sources of Calcium in Garden

In today’s episode we will look into the importance of calcium in gardening and 6 easily available sources of calcium to plants, And What out of these really work and Why? Then, Finally Two Gardening Hacks or Tricks to get instant supply of calcium to your plants.
Before we start listing the 6 easy sources of calcium to plants, we will quickly know the importance or the function of calcium in plants. Calcium plays a very important role in overall growth of plants. It helps in absorption of major nutrients by the roots in the presence of water. It is essential for formation and integrity of plant cell wall and hence very essential for fruit formation.
What are the signs and symptoms of calcium deficiency in plants?
Calcium deficiency can cause necrosis or death of plant tissue at certain parts of the plant particularly at the tips of fruits and tips of growing leaves which appear like burnt tips. Blossom End rot Disease seen in tomatoes, peppers and squashes is the best example of such necrosis due to calcium deficiency. Plant chlorosis or leaf yellowing and stunted growth are also signs of calcium deficiency.
Having said that, now let’s list out the top 6 options or the sources of calcium to plants. If you do vegetable gardening or intend to grow veggies organically in your home or terrace garden, please follow this till the end!

hi

[@margaretdavis5695]

I like the way you give the info without a lot of pontificating (in order to show us how smart you are.) You get right to the point, and give clear directions. Thank-you so much!

[@TheTopHusbando]

Absolutely!

[@A7T043]

I bake eggshells, powder them fine, reduce them vinegar and dilute the liquid 1: 20 and water my tomatoes. Yet, Blossom End Rot, even as it manifests as a calcium deficiency, its rarely so. Its more an inconsistent watering problem. When water is less, the calcium uptake decreases and the plant gives preference to leaves rather than fruit. One may find BER on fruits higher up on the stem and none on the lower fruits. That's the watering problem. To overcome this, deep water the plant, keeping it in shade, strip-off all the lower and older leaves; add some calcium water too and once fresh leaves sprout , move the container into sunlight. And water consistently and regularly.

[@beatcat1265]

thank you!

[@TheTopHusbando]

Interesting!

[@SA-nk8sc]

Thanks for sharing. At what temperature to bake? After adding vinegar the eggshel mix should be liquid ?

[@A7T043]

@@SA-nk8sc I bake them at full volume till the eggshells start turning creamish in colour. Crush them up a bit with a spoon before baking; it'll smell bad if there's that egg membrane still stuck to the shells. After mixing eggshells to vinegar (or vice versa), a lot of the eggshells will dissolve into the vinegar. Thats the fluid you'll use, suitably diluted. You could strain off the extra eggshell powder. Hope this helps.

[@talapeanutbutter4250]

Exactly!

[@ladyspace6365]

Great video! I've definitely added expired vitamins to my compost bins and watered plants with spoiled milk! I use any water I cook with to plants because I can't waste anything!

My mom tried eggshell water this year. A lot of it. The results were night and day. Everything is big, green and lush. She lives in the middle of town where the soil is pretty much spent of a lot of nutrients. Her compost bin is pretty small in comparison to the garden size. Last year there was a real problem with blossom end rot and blight. We took a look at the different plants and figured it was calcium deficiency. It's just past mid season and everything looks incredible. It's amazing how doing one small thing can have such a huge impact.

[@ninapogorzelska6237]

Great video

[@NizamMaster]

Is she uses the water after soaking egg shells into it? Or simply crushes the egg shell and uses that powder?

[@790robothead6]

@@NizamMaster uses the water after soaking egg shells. Smells awful after a while.

[@dalemccorkel7946]

it has been decades since blossom end rot was an issue. of course, there was no interweb back then. i incorporate ground-up eggshells into my soil mixes. for fairly quick calcium availability i used dehydrated nonfat milk ... 👌🏿

[@morshedaakhtar]

Today , I saw end rot disease of Tomato , now I got to know it's all about calcium deficiency .. Thank you so much !

[@aimebouch]

usually but uneven watering will do that too

[@gardencookeat22]

I made an eggshell and vinegar mix and put it in a peanut butter jar months back. Watching this video now I remember where I put it lol thanks!!

[@srinivasanp879]

Black board chalk stocks are made from gypsum in South India. However use of calcium supplements by chalk stick is a very good option.

[@evilroyslade2491]

Great calcium video. Thanks. I have my crushed eggshells and vinegar ready.

[@marklovegrove3597]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mate, best description of calcium use yet, it takes a good understanding of the subject matter to simplify it into useful knowledge for the layman. Awesome! will be watching more of your videos.

[@joecurry7864]

You are to be commended my friend. Excellent teaching technique!!!

[@emmyng980]

You answer my problem in growing plants, thanks , your such a genius.

[@brianmorris364]

Calcium deficiency is most commonly not due to lack of calcium, rather it is because of improper watering practices. Almost all those sources you mentioned are actually more expensive than a bag of fertilizer with calcium in a form the plants can use.more readily. If you raise chickens maybe the eggs are the exception. If you want cheap gypsum use drywall scraps.

[@TgWags69]

My parents always added oyster shells bought from the feed store. It too took many years to decompose, but if you add it every year especially for our heavy clay soy it was a good long term solution. They used to be very cheap, last time I got them though it was pretty expensive.

[@julesclarke6140]

You can add vinegar and you shells in a jar, place a cloth on top, leave it for 5-10 days, filter the liquid and you'd have the calcium (calcium acetate I believel immediately available for your plants

[@zmalqp555]

Great advice, I was desperate one year and used tums for foliar spray. One tomato had end rot, the others grew normally. I used many of your own advice on other things and they all work well.

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

This is the best video I have found so far explaining calcium and why some sources of calcium don't work well for plants with severe calcium deficiency.

[@canonphoto]

Roast or bake egg shells in a pan oven or bbq then put in coffee grinder. Mix 1 cup shells with 1 cup vinegar in a jar and let sit for a week or 2. Mix 1 tablespoon to 2 gallons of water, can also add 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt to every gallon for cheap cal/mag.

[@sjr7822]

I live in a sort of swamp and the fall fungus is horrible, everything turns brown and yellow come to the end of the growing season, but, also during the growing season for some plants. My one tomato barrel showed end rot, so I used dried milk solution and it worked with a few applications and feedings. Cheap solution

[@kemohere]

If you have blossom end rot issues be sure you are maintaining proper moisture levels as well as having enough readily available calcium. Uptake is also important

Tons and tons of gypsum in cement plants Helpful for cement plant workers 🐸

[@BestFarmingTips]

Well, personally i simply apply rabbit urine. It's rich in nitrogen and calcium. So powerful is rabbit urine that you need to dilute with water using a ratio of 1:5, otherwise you will scotch the plants. Rabbit urine is also good because its a natural way of fertilizing your plants, an excellent option for organic farming enthusiasts. As it is 100% natural, there is no waiting people from day of application to first harvest date - you can even harvest soon after applying it. Another advantage of rabbit urine is that it also works as an insecticide. The strong smell that it produces while applying it and its sour and burning sensation kills garden pests such as aphids.

[@Chocoholiclady66]

We use "bunny hunny" (dried rabbit pellets/manure) frequently locally sourced from a friend of my late father, but hadn't heard/didn't know that about their urine. Will have to look into that some more. Not allowed rabbits ourselves since the annexation into town limits. No doubt urine was part of the compost also used to source from them (they compost the rabbit hutch bedding material) before establishing our own current compost set up. After annexation not allowed open manually turned compost bins anymore, so started sourcing from them, but have one of the allowed rotating enclosed composters now.

[@stevehebert843]

Have you tried crushed limestone or oyster shells? I have a machine I got from Bottle Crusher LLC that is used for crushing glass bottles into usable sand. It can also crush limestone and oyster shells. I added crushed oyster shells to the glass sand to use as mulch. It kept the plant's roots cooler and moist while the surface remained dry. No weeds or bugs. I planted a rose bush and 4 flowers using this mixture. The bush and flowers grew like I gave them steroids. I am now experimenting with glass sand, cow manure, limestone to see how they grow. I recently got 4 orchards and I'm going to use limestone cullet as a soil.
