Save your eggshells and put them to use!
In this case I have planted a few different seeds, sweet basil, spinach and chia seeds. The chia seeds were planted because they will sprout and grow in just a few days.

Using eggshells is beneficial for a few reasons:
1. They are rich in calcium.
2. You don't need much soil to start seeds.
3. Once the seed sprouts, you can plant the egg into a pot or directly into the ground.

One helpful trick is to poke a hole into the bottom of the eggshell for water to drain and for roots to find their way! When you end up planting in the ground it is a good idea to make the hole larger and even crack the shell to allow it to decompose quicker as the plant grows.

This will obviously need a bigger pot but it is good for now!
