As a botanist, this is a genius idea. I’ve actually use this method on a few of my plants that weren’t doing so great do your plants need the calcium? No. Do they grow stronger with calcium? Yes. Especially like I said plants that aren’t doing so well. However, you do need to be careful how much you give them I say only do this mixture, at least once to two times a month. Because exposing the plant to too much calcium in a short amount of time can actually kill the plant off.
This video is so wrong, actually eggshells are 95% calcium CARBONATE, which means they're 38% calcium, the other 57% is carbonate. The carbonate content is actually a bit higher because there's other carbonate compounds in it as well. Furthermore, you have NOT produced calcium. You made calcium acetate when you reacted the acetic acid with CaCO3, not calcium.
Rinse out the shells. Put on baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes at 250. Shells are slightly brown. Crush them up and mix with potting soil. I do this all the time and my garden is beautiful.
You don't have to bother with the blender. Just crush the eggshells into little bits. You can mix it into the soil or just sprinkle it on the dirt. Watering will break the eggshells down. Dumping a whole bunch of liquid calcium on them will overwhelm them. Better to do it the slow, natural way.
I was waiting for that, an educated gardner. Im gonna do what you said, just use a Mortal and Pestle and sprinkle, thank you! I already knew that this wouldn't be smart it will also throw off the P.H. balance of your soil if you introduce it at high concentration.
@@williamschlueter6446 Yes, if your plants are established, you can just sprinkle the shells under the mulch. If you're putting in new plants, then mix them in with the surrounding soil. :)
Another use for egg shells. After drying, crumble or grind into powder. Then you can use it in coffee grounds to help take out the bitterness of coffee. Even if you boil your coffee just how the cowboys did back in the old west, it makes your coffee taste so smooth and delicious.
When you kill somebody, don't throw out the skeleton! Instead, put the frontal lobe in vinegar and it will absorb the acid. You'll get this foamy stuff, if you put it in water you'll get plant fertilizer! 🤙
For those who want to know what the compound he made is: He crushed eggshells which contain a high percentage of Calcium carbonate(CaCO3). Then he mixed it with vinegar which is diluted acetic acid(CH3COOH). Then the CaCO3 and the CH3COOH formed calcium acetate(C4H6CaO4). Fun fact: calcium acetate is used as a medicine to treat hyperphosphatemia.
@@MrKayoed whatever it is..... It's super excited!...(seriousness though, it means you have high phosphorus in your blood which is a result of bad kidneys)
Woa, much better and cheaper then the store bought; now I have a use for my white distilled vinegar; if only he could now find a super concentrated source for Magnesium…… that, would make an amazing combo ; )
If you bake the shells first you can consume the powder as a calcium supplement after cooling and grinding. About 350-400°F for 30 minutes to an hour. 😉
Yes, but.... If you add about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per each cup of coffee you make with ground coffee it will smooth out the flavor and take out a lot of bitterness. Try it, it is great.
Guys, I'm going to try this. My Basil plant has both curly and brown spotted leaves. I'll update daily on results. -Eggs boiled, cooling now -Dang I forgot about them. Crushing them now but I don't have a blender or grinder so I'm using a glass bowl and stick thing (I forgot what they're called) -Mixture complete. Tomorrow I'll add it to my Basil plant. I'll only give her half the normal amount of water however, to prevent over-watering. -Sorry I forgot to update but let me tell you, this stuff WORKS. Only yesterday I gave this to my Basil plant and today she looks better then she ever did! Thank you so much
It works if you just clean the eggshells and soak them in water for a day or two. Stir the water and use it to water the plants. No need for the vinegar and foam method.
This channel is so awesome man, just moved to a big city and considering I plan to have plants, your videos are super insightful and informative. Keep it up man, I know for a fact your videos help hella people out
I grew 4. One I ate the other day, another one I will eat today and the other two are not ripe just yet. 😄 Also, I ate my first homegrown blackberry the other day, Im currently growing about six avocado trees, and my ginger already sprouted! Next up... strawberries. 😁👍🏼
@peterpatton2867 well, that IS one downside of planting, well anything really. Even regular plants. Luckily, the only pests I've attracted with my indoor plants have been ants, and those are easily taken care of. My outside garden, however, is a whole new different story. 😂
My grandma used to tell me to never throw away the eggshell, break them in pieces and spread them around the plants. The plants love it and grow strong, no need to add vinegar and do all that stuff. Just add them to your plants and they absorb it.
This stuff will save your tomato harvest big time. Tomatoes tend to be heavy feeders and they'll make themselves mineral deficient pretty quick if you don't keep on top of it. Biggest common issue as a result of this is blossom end rot, where your tomatoes rot on the vine, and this calcium extract will prevent that, especially if you can combine it with magnesium which you can get from burnt cucumber peels
That's the reason why I found this video, my tomatoes are starting to get blossom end rot. Although I wonder since he's using vinegar to extract the calcium, will the vinegar affect the acidity in the soil and throw off the PH level? I'm all for the calcium getting to the tomato plant but I'm a little concerned the acidity would upset the plant.
@@sandtrooper-vr7zynot sure if the vinegar will affect the plants because you are not using the vinegar you are scooping the foam and diluting it with water. He talks about how the vinegar is absorbing the shells and releasing the calcium. So, I am thinking the vinegar contribution will be minimal.
You're suppose to do a 10-1 ratio by weight. I put it in a 2 liter bottle and lightly tighten with cap with a piece of thick fabric under the cap so it can breath. Anyway, you're suppose to let the mixture sit until bubbles quit forming. Then you can add it to water. You haven't allowed the chemical reaction to finish. You have vinegar and eggshells, not calcium acetate.
Exactly! We use a 9-1 ratio (9 parts vinegar, 1 part egg shells). The chemical reaction can take anywhere from 48 hours to a few weeks to complete. 5% acidity vinegar will give you a 2.5% calcium acetate solution. Then we dilute it with rain or distilled water (1 teaspoon per gallon of water). You can also add 1/3 teaspoon Epson salt to the solution for magnesium, if needed. Very good solution to help against blossom end rot. The bubbles are CO2 escaping. He basically added acid to his plants 😢.
You can also just grind them up and put it directly into the soil your plants are growing in. Nature will extract the calcium all by itself :-) Works perfectly for home grown paprika or chillis too (avoids the brown ends that can form when the plants lack calcium).
It just takes a long time for it to break down and be available for the plant to absorb. By soaking the shells invinegar you make calciym acetate, a water soluble calcium, that the plant can intake immediately instead of 6 months to a year from now. It's better to be proactive than reactive when it comes to gardening. Maintain healthy soil instead of amending dead soil.
If you grind it in to powder it's too rapidly absorbed rather than slowly like in pressed pills, which mimic natural rate of absorbtion. But if you have a nasty heartburn & acid reflux you can use it as a relief.@@nadasaad30
For anyone who plans on trying this, go grab an old GLASS blender from a second hand store. I completely ruined the plastic container on my expensive ninja blender. The egg shells will SHRED plastic, or at the very least scratch the hell out of it. Take my word for it, get an old used glass blender for grinding up egg shells.
or you can dry them and put them in your fish tanks if your snails shells are cracking because that means they have a calcium deficiency in the water. helps 👍
I dry my banana peels and grind it with my egg shells for my plant and garden 😊I want them to throw my ashes in my garden too , but dig for 2 feet and then throw new dirt over the old dirt 😏
Other uses for egg shells 1. Boil them with bones and veg scraps in your bone broth (Orangic only) 2. Crush them and spread around the base of plants to ward off slugs 3. Compost 4. Crush fine and add back to chicken feed and oyster shells
It's better to throw them directly on the soil as you do, because you don't add acid (residual vinegar) to the soil as he's doing. He really doesn't know much about chemistry so don't trust everything he says :)
I was actually saving mine for my chickens specifically, but since they havent started laying yet and my tomatoes have some serious blossom-end rot, tomatoes take priority
They just go in the compost bin. You can also use crab shell, oyster, muscle shells, or lobster shell to promote kitins (good nematodes). Worms like them.
When you are done breathing, don't throw away the Co². Instead, what you want to do is, take the gas, and transform it into solid. Now you have some dry ice for your water💧, which definitely isn't dangerous for you.
I use my washed egg shells in my coffee grinds. The shells are porous & draw out all the bitterness from the coffee. It works like a charm in between cleaning your coffee pot.
@@yash_ar Yes. I add the cleaned & smashed-up egg shells to the coffee grinds & then I make my coffee. Sorry for not answering you sooner. I don't get any notifications from TH-cam so I don't know if I received a reply to my comments.
"When your done eating eggs don't throw out the egg shells" Me: "yea man you don't use them to create a super concentrated mixture for your non-existent plants?"
You need to come out with a plant kit. It would include: a grinder, bottle of cinnamon, bottle of 3% peroxide, bottle of white vinegar, roll of paper towels, plant water sprayer and both of your BOOKS! Just trying to think of the most reused products you show.
Those bubbles are CO2 escaping. He didn't let the chemical reaction finish. In roughly 48 hours, the reaction should be finished. The end result should be calcium acetate. Then you can dilute it with water. 5% vinegar (acidity) and the egg shells should roughly come out to a 2.5% calcium acetate solution. Add 1 teaspoon of that solution per gallon of water.
I disagree. if it wasn't this high energy I would fall asleep. this is a chemistry lesson - and we should encourage high-energy content for important science and not just pop-culture.
@@areascoda2912 No, we should encourage people to have the attention span to watch a normal person talk in a normal way about a topic, and not require everything to be delivered like a children's TV show.

I use my washed egg shells in my coffee grinds. The shells are porous & draw out all the bitterness from the coffee. It works like a charm in between cleaning your coffee pot.
So do you mean you add it when brewing coffee?
@@yash_ar
Yes. I add the cleaned & smashed-up egg shells to the coffee grinds & then I make my coffee.
Sorry for not answering you sooner. I don't get any notifications from TH-cam so I don't know if I received a reply to my comments.
LOVE your energy & info!!!
My plants are growing teeth because of you!
“Did you know”
“When ur done eating ___ don’t throw it out”
“Here’s what you can do with 3 simple ingredients”
“You won’t believe what….”
Etc
Alright?
Sorry I just found that funny I don’t mean to offend
@@QueenOfArtz sorry I just love him so much
Its great how he can do disco dance while explaining something 😅
Dr stone taught me to do this with seashells
"No eggs are harmed during this video"
"When you're done shitting don't flush the poop"
👀
SCOOP THE POOP OUT AND USE IT AS FERTILIZER
This is so underrated 🤣
May be you should eat it. It will make you less stupid
Eggshells are mostly made of calciumcarbonate. The vinegar reacts with the carbonate to create bicarbonate which is also very good for plants
Thank you for repeating that Captain Obvious.
When you're done with the egg shells, don't throw 'em away... Feed 'em to your chickens for calcium packed shells!
"When your done eating eggs don't throw out the egg shells"
Me: "yea man you don't use them to create a super concentrated mixture for your non-existent plants?"
meanwhile, his house full of plants inside and outside
now I need to know what happens when you drink it
It probably just taste terrible.
Back to tiktok with all the yelling and golden retriever puppy energy
I haven’t seen one of your videos in a while! I’m going to try this for my plants!
You need to come out with a plant kit. It would include: a grinder, bottle of cinnamon, bottle of 3% peroxide, bottle of white vinegar, roll of paper towels, plant water sprayer and both of your BOOKS! Just trying to think of the most reused products you show.
I give my plants rice water and my plants are so big and healthy.
I never heard of rice water; what does it help with ? Phosphorus… nitrogen.. calcium… iron.. potassium intake ??
You can just break up eggshells and put them directly in the soil. Works the same.
Those bubbles are CO2 escaping. He didn't let the chemical reaction finish. In roughly 48 hours, the reaction should be finished. The end result should be calcium acetate. Then you can dilute it with water. 5% vinegar (acidity) and the egg shells should roughly come out to a 2.5% calcium acetate solution. Add 1 teaspoon of that solution per gallon of water.
Why the hell are you shouting? This is not a high energy topic. Calm down.
You’re a hater
I disagree. if it wasn't this high energy I would fall asleep. this is a chemistry lesson - and we should encourage high-energy content for important science and not just pop-culture.
Who hurt you?
@@areascoda2912 No, we should encourage people to have the attention span to watch a normal person talk in a normal way about a topic, and not require everything to be delivered like a children's TV show. I assure you, if you require everything to be taught to you like this, you have an issue that is worthy of investigation.
@@jstra - let’s be fair. The average aMurican isn’t interested in anything that isn’t labeled as *Breaking News* or screamed at you with less than 140db, at least.
I bad of science 😢😢😢. but this channel will learn me 😊
Love your shorts! Well done.
I just put the shells on top of my gardens soil whenever I have enough that I have collected during the season … works very well
Instructions unclear… I made an egg tree
I have adhd. This video was perfect and informative. I take calcium pills to help with bone density as I age. This is a way cheaper option to get my calcium intake. Thanks!
If i die and come back as a plant, it better be in this guys house cuz I’d be eating good
your great! helping the environment! keep it up buddy!
This man does not own a trash can. What a role model
Roast shells in a dry pan before adding vinegar. You unlock more available calcium.
“Dont throw out the egg shells GROW A TREE FROM IT”😂
Really interesting video 😉👍
The amount of anxiety I had from constantly thinking he was gonna drink it was not worth knowing I could fertilize my plants with it.
