Introduction

In the quest for healthier, chemical-free gardening, more plant lovers and farmers are turning to natural soil amendments. One such powerful yet underrated resource is eggshell powder. This simple, sustainable product holds immense benefits for plants, soil, and the environment. At GrowBasket, we bring you premium-quality, finely ground Eggshell Powder for Plants, crafted with care to help your garden flourish.

What Is Eggshell Powder?

Eggshell powder is made by cleaning and grinding discarded eggshells into a fine powder. Rich in calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), it also contains small amounts of magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium — all essential for plant development.

Unlike synthetic fertilizers that can degrade soil over time, eggshell powder is natural, biodegradable, and enhances both the physical and nutritional structure of the soil.

Benefits of Eggshell Powder for Plants

1. Rich Source of Calcium  
   Calcium is critical for:
   • Cell wall strength
   • Proper enzyme activity
   • Root development
   • Preventing blossom end rot in tomatoes, peppers, and squash
2. Balances Soil pH  
   Eggshell powder helps neutralize acidic soils, making it easier for plants to absorb nutrients.
3. Improves Soil Structure  
   The fine particles help improve aeration and water retention, especially in clay or compacted soils.
4. Pest Deterrent  
   Coarsely ground eggshells around the base of plants deter slugs and snails due to their sharp texture.
5. Compost Enhancer  
   Adding it to compost boosts calcium content and balances the carbon-nitrogen ratio.
6. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable  
   Using kitchen waste like eggshells reduces landfill contribution and promotes a circular gardening economy.
