So you’ve established a nice raised bed garden area for your Tomatoes! Yes, congratulations! I hope you have many years of good times reaping the reward of fresh home grown tomatoes. There isn’t much better than harvesting from your own garden… big or small.

Eggshells in the Garden: How to Save, Store, Use Organic Calcium

Eggshells in the Garden: Save The Shells!

There is no good point to tossing eggshells into the garbage. The landfill doesn’t need your valuable resources! Save those shells for your garden 🙂

We like the idea of the eggshells being “cooked” before use just in case there would be any “nasties” on the shells. In general I’m not extremely concerned about germs, bacteria or viruses… but sometimes I figure it’s better to err on the side of caution. Cooking the shells should kill all the offenders so that when we use the shells we aren’t risking illness by handling them.

See Video Here if you missed it.

I would like to post this video update to show that my trees do not hate me. They have forgiven my brutal ignorance  and seem to be loving life. All the trees: Apple, Pear and Peach are coming out and soaking up the sun. They appear to be happy where they are. Continue reading My Orchard 2013: Updates →
