Gardeners use raw eggs as fertilizer for improved plant growth

Gardeners are increasingly using raw eggs as a natural fertilizer to improve plant growth and health. The eggs provide essential nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, and nitrogen, which strengthen plants, promote root development, and encourage leafy growth. The slow decomposition releases these nutrients gradually, improving soil structure and moisture retention. This method involves placing a whole raw egg in the planting hole or burying broken eggs near established plants. Eggshells, rich in calcium, can also be dried, crushed, and added to the soil.
