Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

AjarnV= It takes egg shells over a year to break down so the plants can use them so you make your own liquid, plants don't have to break it down go's right to work.
Break egg shells into small as you can pieces,your coffee grinder is great, cook till good and black making some good ash, pour into a jar with equal amount of white vinegar, let it set for two weeks, strain, use liquid with water at two tablespoons to the gal of water. Spray plants, I mix it with papaya extract and some pineapple extract, Just started adding lacto and
sea weed extract plants are going ape shit. if you want to read up on this stuff a paper written By Philippine farmer Gil Carandang (BIM) just goggle Beneficial Indigenous Organisms there a lot information on the web his papers have recipes included, if i can be of more help please ask.
have not spent any money on any fert or additive in three years make all myself, wife thinks I'm nuts a hole bunch jars with wierd looking stuff on shelf

Ditto that! Thanks.
Thats exactly my problem; isolated to some extent and even the biggest and best agricultural supply shops don't have "anything" with calcium in it. Even the tomato ferts don't have calcium.
Okay, so put the crushed/milled and roasted/blackened egg shells in a jar and cover the shells with white vinegar like below?

Yes just like that, let it soak for a good couple of weeks before use.
you got it. never try-ed it twice I would think because vinegar is an acid it would pull everything out of the ash, or weaken the calcium content. Have Fun OH!
almost forgot if you do it inside make sure the windows are open. I cook mine outside as they have a smell all there own. I put the used shells on the ground around the plants, or the compost pile and mix them in.

That could be quite handy and painfully annoying at times too i guess.
Al, I cooked up a bunch of crushed egg shells, blackened them and covered with white vinegar. There was quite a reaction like a witches cauldron, LOL. Now waiting for the 2 weeks. Thanks again for the information. Cheers.
