I have been using this method for years now and it works well. Also if you want to add more calcium to depleted soils, save the tops of the egg shells, dry them out and using a mortar and pestle grind them up into a powder. Add this powder to depleted soils to help future plants grow.

[@lauriehill9933]

thanks for this video reminder. My dad used to do this and I forgot all about it. will defiantly be using this method for my garden this year. It was almost like my dad was talking to me from heaven reminding me of something important I forgot.

[@shea5542]

That’s beautiful

[@gregorytremaine1164]

ABSOLUTE GENIUS! I'm impressed. I just bought two Roosters and 10 hens a few months ago. I'm getting 3 to 6 eggs a day. They're free range, so I know I'm not finding them all......your video on preserving eggs is a must see video also. Great Work. Simple. Practicable. Thank You.

[@brendag2891]

Love this clever (Easter!) idea, Kris. Good, eco-friendly calcium for the soil. I compost eggshells, but have to bury them deeply to keep the squirrels and racoons from digging them up. I could only do this if I grew the veggies indoors seed to harvest. I use pencil on egg shells, way fewer chemicals. Wait! chives outdoors keep the critters away outdoors. Hot peppers, too. You sure did your homework!

[@Baker1798]

Cannot begin to tell you ho much i appreciate your DIY videos, from the gardening to how you can preserve the food you grow. Thank you for your hard work in providing all this free info. As much a i like gear reviews i think the info on how to get things done is the most important

[@Oliver-yt6ez]

Very good idea! In Germany we have the Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher which comes in handy for opening the eggs with a perfect round cut.

[@jons5898]

Found some of those on Amazon for around $15 including shipping ! 👍👍

[@funwithjellyandlou1065]

Wow. I didn’t know these existed. It’s called an Egg Topper in the U.K. which is a shorter and yet less interesting name. Just bought one. Thanks for the tip!

[@patricia8211]

You can always use Ziploc gallon bags or 2 gallon bags for little hot house environment.

[@aftermidnight4867]

I’ve done this for a long time! Works great! However, I use my egg cartons as mini green houses. I cut out a large rectangle in the lid and then cover that with cellophane, (taping it in place). I put seed starter in the shells, moisten them and then close the carton up. This aides in trapping in heat so the seeds germinate faster. Great video! 😊

[@Thekulprit92]

That's good advice

[@texasballistics]

Excellent video, please make more like this.

[@sandilight5183]

Already do this. Works great.

[@AfterlifeStudiosOfficial]

This is so fun and practical. I cant wait to start on these this weekend. Perfect timing!

[@GoodThingsEtc]

Thank you Kris!!! looking forward to planting!!!

[@freerangewhanau]

Keep an eye out for second hand bargains. Picked up a 6mnth old hydroponics tower with built in grow lights for 30% of retail last week, will keep me in leafy greens/herbs through the winter

[@ronndapagan]

Excellent video and points about using eggshells for seed planting. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@paxorra5528]

I have been using my eggs shells to protect my plants from slugs & snails a carpet of crushed jagged (not pulverized) egg shells, also gives a boost to plants that might need extra calcium. I do have egg shells for starting plants too.

[@reliableprepper]

Who knew breakfast leftovers could turn into a gardening goldmine? 🌱 Has anyone tried the eggshell seed starting method?

[@reliableprepper]

It's good timing because I'm about to start my seeds

[@dawnbaker9274]

My grandparents did this for years. Always had a great garden.

[@MKahn84]

Excellent idea!

[@niki9638]

That is an amazing idea! I’m going to have to try it!!!!!

[@SurvivalLilly]

Really sweet video. I am spending too much money on professional planting pots. I will try your method next time I have to sow something 😊

[@MichaelR58]

Good video thanks for sharing YAH bless !

[@GreenThumbGardener65]

Peppers like to hold hands, so try to grow in twos. Two plants together hold each other up.

[@dakkotaknight]

Thanks Kris!

[@lowRESpl]

This cartboard is also a great tool to use while plantong carrots. Make small holes in bottom and put soil inside. Plant seeds and put in ground. The cartboard helps to keep water and its great for worms that improve soil quality.

[@blackfowl75]

Hey Kris, I wanted to download your gardening guide but the link isn’t working anymore. Could you update it, please?

[@sheritac3372]

Thank you for this helpful content!

[@esthersdaughterlong8149]

Excellent idea Kris. Thank you.

[@thehound5152]

Great way to use other wise discarded kitchen waste!

[@paxorra5528]

I use the shells of boiled eggs in my garden for my tomato plants to give a boost of calcium to combat blossom rot and other plants like peppers I use against snails & slugs reaching the plants.

[@pianistabella]

Awesome. Thanks!!

[@do-it-yourself-skills]

Using eggshells can inhibit the root growth, and the tiny hairlike roots are not strong enough to poke thru the eggshell if they need more space. If you have ever started seeds in those plastic cellpacks, you will know what I mean. Roots will poke right through the 1/2" hole at the bottom of the cellpack and grow right into the plastic tray holding them. Even if a seedling with stunted roots survives, it will not produce as well as a plant with a fully-formed root system. A better use of eggshells is to make eggshell "tea" and use it as a fertilizer.

[@preplife4me]

Thank you,

[@anchorageprepper9008]

Never tried this method before. Thanks!

[@lorenzop.8249]

absolutely love it!

[@CityPrepping]

Glad you like it!

[@lanagujardo3137]

lmao im sooo happy to hear you call my dollar tree soil high quality

[@CityPrepping]

lol

[@ffviifakeremake9997]

Great video, very educational.

[@JohnBaker3000]

I hear that old toilet paper tubes can work well too.

[@tinak8081]

My plants are doing great in egg shells! You just plant right in the ground.

[@valarieannaliza8805]

The inner membrane of the eggshell is SUPER nutritious for dogs. If you have a dog….feed that to them directly and they’ll get the benefits…no waste!

Canadian Prepper: "Today I'm introducing you to the new $3000 tent, trust me, you're missing out if you don't buy it! And isn't this $400 solar cooker a cool thing? Not to mention the 5000$ freeze dryer with built-in geiger counter that is currently on sale on my website!" City Prepping: "How to Start Seeds Indoors🌱" Guess which one of these two will actually help you survive and offer valuable tips for the average middle and lower class person....

[@joey_the_farmdawg]

Great content and appreciate that you use your real voice on these and not some weird AI generated voice 😁

[@merlindeg7605]

Use the cardboard middle of toilet rolls….less hassle

[@flopkin]

Have you guys started contacting applicants for your recent job opening? Awesome video as always.

[@SmallSpacePreppin]

Hi Kris, can the egg shells be placed in a plastic egg container instead of the carton one?

[@CityPrepping]

I don't see why not.

[@taylorabeel407]

I would have watched your video but there were 2 ads over 2 minutes in length before your video... not worth the wait. Cut the ads down and you will get more people like me to view!

[@fegero]

Dang it. I just cooked up 60 eggs but I crushed them up and placed them in some flower beds. Time to freeze-dry another batch of eggs. :)

[@ericallen7200]

What are your thoughts on all the AI created prepper channels popping up all over YT? I would really like to know. You know the ones... they drop a new video daily and keep repeating the same talking points...they have 12-50k followers and NO COMMENTS.... Also, I still don't want to attend your pizza party.

[@CityPrepping]

yeh, seeing a lot of those channels pop up. they're garbage. they're just copy and repeating. Lol, well, if you want to join the pizza party, I'll let you know when the next one is.

[@ericallen7200]

@@CityPrepping Actually, they are doing the same AAI stuff with politics, border, and a couple other topics. The best question is how do we stop them? They are taking away traffic from real creators (like you and JR and Alaska) and I'm not cool with that.
