Struggles of a new chilli grower: Great progress, annoying problems.

[Scorchio]

Dear Mr solid or if I can just call you 7.
My local Pub give me probably a dozen eggshells a day. I love these people. They never forget me.
So I use a machine of my Wife's and I mash them.
It's a milk with grit in it.
I then splodge it all over my plants.
All my plants get splodged.
I have to use a teaspoon.
Am I taking this too seriously?

I dunno, man...  I put mine in a gas grill after I have finished cooking, and let the residual heat dry them out.  Then, I have a dedicated coffee grinder, that I use to make powder out of them.  Smaller particles equal better utilization. (which is why every apothecary in the world used a mortar and pestle)

Did I forget I use my neighbour's head to grind them down a bit more?
I am thinking we take this too seriously.
He thinks so too.
