Acid Neutralizer
Eggshells aren't just a wasted byproduct of eggs. With eggshells composed of over 95% of Calcium Carbonate and 5% of other minerals (phosphate and carbonate), it has many beneficial uses including supplements for plants and animals and for crafts too.
Uses:
Sprinkle around the base of the plant once every 2-3 weeks
Prior to planting, lay a base of eggshells in the soil for decomposition
Mix into soil or sprinkle liberally on top prior to planting season to increase soil pH

Chalk Kits

Instructions for Chalk Kits
Step 1
Collect Ingredients:
Dry Mix (Flour, Food Coloring and Eggshells)
Hot Water
Mixing Bowl
Spatula
Paper Towel
Oven
Step 2
Combine hot water and dry mix together in a bowl until it can be clumped together (Keep in mind that the ratio of eggshells to flour to chalk should be approximately 1:3:3. Hence, using our chalk kit, the ratio to water is 4:1 (One tablespoon)
Step 3
Once the mixture can be clumped together easily without breaking apart, roll it into a cylinder before using the paper towel to compress it into a log shape. (At this step, the mixture can also be modelled into other shapes such as hearts)
Step 4
Bake for 300F for 15-20 minutes or let dry for 1-3 days, ensuring that the center of the log has fully hardened
