- Calcium is critical for a large number of plant functions and a calcium deficiency can greatly reduce overall yield and plant vigor. In this video I show you exactly how to make this water soluble calcium supplement using two very common and cheap ingredients. Much love to the Korean Natural Farming (KNF) community for showing me how to make this back in 2017.

8/4/23 . Years ago I dump lots of eggshells in the garden- I’m talking maybe 30 years ago and I was still seeing clumps of shells until a year or so ago !ofcourse it was probably too many shells ! Can you do this same process with crushed oyster shells ?
yes my friend eggshells truly take many years to decompose the natural way!!!... yes this process will also work with oyster shells... use in the same ratios
@gardenlikeaviking can you use any seashell (muscle, clams etc) found at the beach (washed of course)? Tia 😊
@@CatCor-ki6rkEliot Coleman uses oyster shells BECAUSE they take so long to degrade. He calls it time-released calcium. LoL
You are converting me from store-bought fertilizers to DIY Homemade liquid fertilizers. Thanks.
Some methods advocate microwaving the egg shells. Is there a reason you [gently] heat them in a pan? Love your content by the way 👍
@@CurlyWirls heat it to convert it into calcium oxide i guess
These are recipes from the JADAM Korean natural farming book. It’s awesome he’s sharing it! Buy the book to go along with the videos.
This Viking is serving Humanity
Great vid bud.
I think i speak for a lot of people, when i say these short, quick to the point videos, explaining specific consepts, is so useful for us beginners.
I have been gardening for 50 years, and I am gaining a lot of valuable new information, so not just for beginners! Great for you to gain this knowledge early on, it will serve you well.
Absolutely agree, @voicesamples9573! One topic, very specific, solid info, gives us reasons for what he's doing. Plain-spoken, articulate but concise; consistently outstanding content.
This calcium supplement truly makes a difference. I've been creating Calcium Acetate since I first saw this video from Nate, and have been applying randomly and noticed the pick-me-up reaction from my Jalapeno peppers and Capsicums almost instantly. Lately I've been adding the calcium liquid to absolutely everything. My shed is like an Alchemist's workshop, LOL
I'm new to Garden Like A Viking and am trying to learn. Which works best for you, foliar or drenching?
@@NO-CHIT I haven't compared the two options, I mixed some calcium acetate in a watering can (many times now) and watered the soil mostly, rather than a foliar watering, but some does get on the foliage. I reckon it all works, whichever way you choose to apply it.
@@Alchemyforall I'm anxious to try mine. Today is the fifth day but a particle or two still rises and falls very slowly. I don't want to jump the gun.
Do you spray it on?
@@k.chriscaldwell4141 I use a watering can with a spray nozzle, I think Nate's suggested ratio is 2 tablespoons to 10 litres (watering can), and I add a slurp of natural fertiliser to the mix when I have some ready.
Seriously your knowledge is stunning my friend. My 11 year old daughter loves the way you teach. She actually remembers what you teach. Thank you my friend!Gratitude.
My 7 year old son loves watching Nate’s videos with me, too. It’s amazing how our kids’ minds soak up everything. I buried one of our neighborhood bunnies that was hit by a car a few days ago in my garden. My son, after processing his sadness, very matter-of-factly said that it would be good fertilizer for our plants. I’m in awe of the pragmatic lessons being taught from growing food. 🙏🏻
@@trish6091 I’m reminded of a song David the Good sings “buried my rabbit ‘neath the cherry tree one fine afternoon, i know we’ll meet again someday at the end of a fruit salad spoon.” Here’s the song! th-cam.com/video/4Um8KMmAVJs/w-d-xo.html
@@olgakuchukov6981 omg 😂 thank you so much for sharing this song! Hysterical! 🐇🍒
@@trish6091 kismet! David is a gardener and extreme composter 😃
@@olgakuchukov6981 I love how the universe works!
Am I the only one that wished Nate was my neighbor? You’re awesome brother. Please keep up the amazing content
lol where I live right now I'm the oddball because everybody has neatly manicured lawns they dump chemicals on and have zero food growing!!
@@gardenlikeaviking but I bet they wished that they could garden like you and if not, screw ‘‘em lol
Fast forward to 2:52 to see the steps
Thanks Nate. Your are creating a mad scientist here and it actually makes me love gardening even more now. Every child or grown up needs a teacher like you to inspire them especially now a days. Keep doing what you do my brother.
I've been doing almost the same thing for a few years with my cannabis plants, works great. I mix with Epsom salts too for some magnesium and sulphur. I was told that the burning of the eggshells also changes the chemical structure to make it more plant available... great vids
yes they love this especially with he Epsom salts... then the last two weeks or so just do away with the calcium and let them ripen with that pure MagSulfur!!
@@gardenlikeaviking Great, as always, how much Epsom salt should I add to the mix? Thank you
@@andmoreagain9 i use 1 tsp per gallon about once every week to 10 days for cannabis in 7-10 gallon pots. If the plants turn too deep of a Forrest green color, I back off. I cut epsom salt out completely in the last 2-3 weeks and bump up sulfur.
Thank you, Kevin
Cheap CalMag!
This is so simple , why didn’t we all know this? This should have been in the tomatoe growers handbook!
I retired from the chem plant industry. You are giving me lots to do!🎉👍
I’m SO happy to be here, with someone who knows his stuff and gives us ways to feed our garden without spending money!!
Just when I think I’ve found the best gardening channels, Viking show up. Thanks for the garden alchemy.
We made this tonight and there is a reason you mixed it up in a big container with so much room to spare! Not quite a volcano but it was fun for my grand daughter to see what happens when you don't follow directions. 😉 I'm very excited to learn so many new new things on this channel.
I DIDN'T use a large container and it didn't flare up because I poured the vinegar over the shells (not the other way around).
Am writing to support this amazing fertilizer because I
grew 2_3 lbs tomatoes regularly the last five years.Have picture
To support this statement.
I have found your recipe for egg shells fertilizer one of the best and my favorite too!👍
Hey my friend!!!! thank you for your great teachings I am teaching this to a very poor Cuban family in Trinidad Cuba. He’s a 10-year-old boy and I have him making homemade fertilizer. It is open his eyes to a whole new world and I wanna thank you for teaching me so I can teach him because I know is zero how about keeping a plant. You’re doing amazing things in your teaching is amazing thank you
thank you very much for the positive energy my friend I wish you the highest success with your teaching efforts!
Thanks for the great info. Couple of questions..
1. How long can this liquid be stored.
2. How can it be used to enrich garden soil before at the end of season?
I have these same questions!
FANTASTIC!!
Such an awesome video.
I knew add egg shells were good for the garden and you had to put vinegar somehow to activate everything.
I thank you so much.
You've earned a new subscriber.
Can’t wait to try it out. Usually I just bury my eggshells in my garden
I "cooked" about half a dozen shells on the stove and they turned out good but you gotta stay right with it for about 10 minutes. I asked my wife to start saving me the shells and she started putting them in a bowl for me. I didn't want to wait until I got enough to "cook", and I didn't want them drying, so I rinsed them out, rubbing the albumin off with my finger and put them in another bowl to dry. They don't need cooking now and it's really quick to do. Can't wait for spring to use this stuff. Thanks Nate! NE Ga, 7b.
Great tips. I do mine a little differently, crushing up lightly and place into the oven for about half an hour, take out then cover in the same amount with vinegar as you mentioned and wait until it stops bubbling, give it a good stir, and leave usually overnight or a couple of days after that. Filter off the chunks, and use at a similar dilution rate.
Good video.
Using ACV with the mother will make it strain super slow. If you plan on making this for a foliar spray I recommend white vinegar or rice vinegar
It takes longer to dissolve the shells this way. It you have a coffee grinder or food processor and grind it to a fine powder. I also only mix up what I need at the time. So essentially, have it ready every 2 weeks. Thank you for your wisdom!
You are the best gardener I ever found and you are most helpful person to learn from..
thank you for the positive energy my friend!!
A note to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. Not everyone does so easily and readily. You do. Keep it up. It is changing what is happening around us.
Very nicely done. I've used this solution now for years in my grow rooms and can say I've saved quite a few bucks versus store bought nutrients.
Nate, such amazing information. You make it look so easy. Why can’t I get it right
Glad I watched this video! I was doing egg shells wrong. Thank you for sharing such great information with us. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I've been trying to learn JADAM methods for a while, but I've never seen one like this about eggshells and vinegar.Great teacher, great video! Thank you for sharing your experience!
I toast my shells in the oven on low, like 220F I want to say, for 20 minutes. I check it every five to ten minutes to give the pan a shake. I believe you can also do this with bones, probably bone broth discards would be a good candidate. A tip: be sure to use high-quality eggshells--not that crumbly stuff from the cheap section. Shells that crumble are *low* in calcium and likely deficient in other minerals (plus those birds are stressed out, giving you eggs with an imbalance of short/long fatty acids, aka omegas). Final tip: if you have chickens, give the rest of your shells back to your chickens as a calcium supplement! I still also give oyster shells but I don't have to buy them that often.
I take and powder the shells it dissolves much better. But watch it you will get a reaction.
Science is wonderful when a master like you develops a useful substance with such simple ingredients and a little patience Thank you so much for your video!
you are welcome Jan thank you for the positive energy!!
These videos are amazing! The way you explain is so easy to understand. They’re not long and they are right to the point. You are my favorite new TH-camr.
thank you for the positive feedback my friend!
Making a fresh batch of this today to get the garden ready! It worked so well last year! Thank you as always, Nate 💚
appreciate the additional advice on roasting the egg shells
A friend turned me on to your channel last week and I’m so glad he did. I’ve been binge watching your videos. I love the way you simplify things. It’s very easy to understand. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Your videos are a motivation to me. Always looking forward to the next. Easy, comprehend and educative. Keep up the good work mate. Much love from Malawi🇲🇼
Every word of yours is gold!
Thanks Nat, keep them coming.
Thanks for all you do Nate. Learning and sharing with others makes us better stewards of the earth. 🙏🏼
bringing my plants to a whole new level with your help this year.. thank you
I appreciate you sharing this info!

This video is awesome. Never had I heard anything like this. I love your wisdom and look forward to more. Thanks for sharing!
I never knew about this and that chemical reaction was the neatest thing I’ve seen this week. Thanks Nate.
I am so glad I found you! Thank you Pinball!
Thank you for taking the time to pass this information on......
Great content as always brother. I love how practical you have made this so that any one can use it. It’s much appreciated.
It might be worth mentioning that every time you apply a liquid calcium feed you *MUST* also apply a liquid magnesium feed because the plant can only take in so much of each and one excludes the other. For example, a tomato plant that exhibits signs of blossom end rot and has too much magnesium will not be able to absorb calcium to cure the blossom end rot. And this is true with other similar imbalance corrections.
Yep, that's why most Calcium is paired with it and sold as "Cal-Mag". Good tip.
What are organic sources of magnesium?
@@nunyabiznes33 Organic compost is the best. Kieserite is a natural form of magnesium sulphate, does that count as organic?
@@DigwellGreenfingers it'll look it up
@@DigwellGreenfingers I finally made the eggshell solution. If I'm going to use Epsom salt, do I just add it into the vinegar solution? What would be the measurement?
He’s the best. Love Our Nate!
Man your knowledge is amazing thank you
I had food-grade calcium carbonate, which I normally use for my chalk paint. It worked very quickly. My pepper plants recovered in a short time. I didn't know your recipe for the liquid calcium and will try it out. Last year was my first gardening year ever and I learned a lot. And I made mistakes from the beginning because I thought we would have food security problems. I felt pressed for time. This year I started much better with a plan. I also prepared the beds much better. I am so grateful for everything you teach us! I will be using the JADAM solution tomorrow. Thank you so much! I made the fish fertilizer and the urea, and I made a nettle tea because they had it here at the river this year. I've never bought fertiliser from the shop before. So I can't compare that to the homemade. I love making all these natural things myself.
💝🌻
It reminds me of how I was able to get my chili pepper to yield fruits after so many months of failures. That's why I always remove the thin membrane, wash, and store the eggshells almost everyday until I get plenty enough to make a new batch of homemade liquid calcium.
Thank you for sharing all your experiences!
Loving all your videos 🙏🏽
I’ve tried this and it works. It’s like salt for your plants eating. If you up the taste the plant can be feed more than the normal hydroponic parts per million component of water solvable solution recommendation which the plant grows in. It’s a ten dollar meter, say ppm. I see it as a way to use when the plant goes into nutrient look out because you FEED IT TOO MUCH so, feed it this. Good stuff. Note This is funner than flashing a plant with water when there’s to much food.
Thanks for the information, I was wondering about hydroponics. Currently I have a ghost pepper that I rescued last growing season and it's been hanging on, I currently have it in kratky method with masterblend.
I agree I started saving egg shells. When I got a couple pounds of eggs I crushed them added them to my garden bed . The results this growing season has been amazing. I peel the membrane and eat it , free collagen !
I think I read somewhere that those crushed eggshells will kill slugs or pill bugs. Also, birds eat the egg shells and it hardens the eggs they lay so they don't Crack too easily before hatching.😊
I truly love the way you explain everything
Great video. Your explanation of the chemical reaction was very helpful. I was hesitant about applying acidic vinegar to my plants, but your explanation about it being neutralized and no longer vinegar was spot on. It would be very helpful to see a video of how you foliar feed and the right technique. I’ve always been a little apprehensive to try it because I don’t know the right way to do it.
thank you for the feedback my friend and yes I will make a video on how to properly foliar spray
100 percent correct. Been doing this for years. I love your method. Especially the advice to make your own vinegar. Its so easy and a bye product. Keep on teaching the good fight.
thank you for the positive energy my friend!!
Just what I was looking for!! Thanks Nate!
I've been learning a lot of good stuff from your channel. Two thumbs up.
Thank you for all the great information in your videos Nate, I wish I knew of these things 10 or even 20 years ago instead of throwing a lot of money away on chemical fertilizers. I'd throw you a few bucks but the New Zealand government is screwing us hard with inflation and that's why I'm here, to gain new knowledge on how to survive and thrive. ✌
I feel you my friend... the big squeeze is coming for us here in the states as well... that's why I'm sharing all this info so hopefully not as many hungry mouths in the future!
Just made my first batch. Thank you for the easy, (yet smelly) way to utilize egg shells as fertilizer. Can't wait to treat my house plants with this, and later my garden. Love your videos and all the great information! My husband who is not a gardener even got involved just to watch the chemical reaction :) Thank you.
Why does yours smell..? Mine doesn't .
@@kellikelli4413 The end product does not smell, sorry if I didn't make that clear. It was the heating up of the egg shells. I probably over "cooked" mine. The kitchen smelled of burnt shells for several days. :) I think next time, I will be more careful not to over cook the shells. The fertilizer is great.
Highly appreciable work dear
I like how you just get right to the point. No wasted time, thank you!
Yes this is great, thank you. Interesting about the egg lining. I have read that it is very good for joints and cartilage. I powder eggshells for adding calcium to my cat’s raw food. I’ve never smelled any rancidity. Maybe it has no smell. There’s guidance to toast the powder but that’s to remove any bacteria off a raw local egg. I tend to use a lot of egg shells I’ve boiled with pressure. Maybe that cooks the lining and is similar to toasting.
I vote for the foliar feed video. I imagine your sprayer retains the aroma of the fertilizer. Maybe you can share your cleaning regimen. And which sprayer you like. I’ve looked up a few online and the reviews are all over the place for a budget sprayer from a top producer,
I am trying this process out now, without the toasting, it seems okay so far, 2nd day still putting on a show of up then down shells (like a lava lamp w/out color) 😉
Your content is great! Can you do one on how to make magnesium?
thank you and yes I can do that!
Thanks alot!
@@gardenlikeaviking please do. I save your videos and share many.
Thanks so much enjoying all your videos
Yep will be making this as well, cheers Nate, learning alot from you 👨🌾
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Do all types of plants benefit from this solution or are there specific ones to avoid?
pretty much all plants love this!... but if you are uncertain then first spray only on a small part of the plant and wait a day or two to make sure it can handle it...
@@gardenlikeaviking Thanks! 😊
One thing I want to mention is that regular white vinegar is mostly made from GMO Corn, that has been sprayed with glyphosate, thus the vinegar end product still has glyphosate in it, from what I've read. I've seen Vinegar mentioned as a "weed killer" and when I looked into it more, I saw mentions of this, and while I'm not 100% sure if this is fully true, it makes sense that it passes on. I'm not sure if other types of vinegar are good for weeds, but most people will use cheap distilled white vinegar, made from corn to spray their lawns for weeds.
I just thought I'd mention this so people don't start killing off all the beneficials in the soil with Cheap White Vinegar.
I use vinegar on weeds growing on a gravel path. I spray the weeds with just white vinegar or a mixture of vinegar, water and salt. To be effective it should be done in the evening so that the vinegar has time to soak into the weeds. It's like when you leave lettuce in vinaigrette overnight. A bit of sunshine the next day and the weeds are toasted. I notice there are less flies around after using vinegar.
In the case of mixing egg shells and vinegar there is a chemical reaction and all that's left is calcium acetate.
So, use biological vinegar.
"All natural" in the Heinz label in the video (or anywhere else for that matter) doesn't mean a thing!
It just means it was made in a factory using universal laws of physics and chemistry. Hence, "natural". Voilà.
"Natural" is not a legally protected term in most jurisdictions. So it can be liberally used, misused and abused.
I just love the way you explain your topics and they work
Love your videos. Sooo helpful. Thank you.
This is the _only_ way to use eggshells in the garden and works like a charm, everyone should be doing this.
Eggshells take a lot more more than decades to breakdown in soil... no matter how finely crushed or charred they are. Archeologists regularly find eggshells during excavations, some are even so intact after hundreds of years they can determine what bird laid them! Soil life merely breaks them down into ever smaller particles year after year, which soon become microscopic, misleading us to presume they've been absorbed into the soil but the calcium still isn't available in a soluble form. The oyster-shells you mentioned are Calcium Carbonate (as is Limestone!) and they survive for thousands of years in the ground (Venice Italy, and parts of the USA and Australia (and everywhere humans have been eating shellfish really) have manmade mounds of these shells and they obviously aren't decomposing into the soil releasing anything. I have patches of soil in my garden that still show eggshell fragments I put there 14 years ago that I see when I disturb the soil even today.
The only decomposition of eggshells in soil is due to the soil being very ericacious (acidic) so it acts like the vinegar to start with... but soon the soil turns alkali and then it stops decomposing the eggshells.
I'm glad you show this vinegar conversion to Calcium Actetate but to add to it... if you use lemon juice as the acid you get Cacium Citrate, another easily absorbed water soluble form of calcium.
Are you saying we can use lemon juice instead of vinegar?
@@cangel201 Absolutely. The acidity of lemon juice (citric acid) will readily 'dissolve' the eggshell and turn the insoluble calcium carbonate in the shell to soluble calcium citrate... you may need to add some more juice from time to time to fully dissolve the shells but after a couple of days you should have a good calcium-rich liquid feed that you should then dilute when you use it so the soil isn't hit with neat acid solution... I usually add a a small capfull to a couple of litres of water whenever I'm feeding weekly or fortnightly.
I also add a little treacle (blackstrap molasses in the US I think) to my feed from time to time as this contains a lot of minerals and nutrients from refining the sugar and the microbes in the soil can use the small addition of the sugar too.
As with all feeds, don't be too heavy handed... it's always better to underdo any amending than overdoing it.
Good luck
@@markzambelli thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it!😃We eat a lot of eggs so I will be able to try this soon.
I was going to try this, thanks for the tip of toasting! I have about 25 kilos of crushed eggshells...
Are you talking about the inner membrane?
Btw it's sold as a supp because rich in certain nutrients, so it's a good idea to tear some appart, dry it and keep it to eat. I just eat some as chewing gum from time to time!
And I have to search how much is a gallon! 😄
128 ounces. I'm not sure what that is metricly, I'm ashamed to say.
1 gallon (128 ounces) is equal to 3785.4 ml = 3.79 Litres.
Thanks for the info!
Great stuff. Thanks for making this video
Have you ever planted whole eggs into the ground? Is there any worth in doing that since you mentioned the shells can take awhile to break down? I figured they would ferment/age in the soil and then provide a lot of beneficial goodness to the soil.
Thank you for your time as always!
I put some eggs in a compost in place container in my raspberry/garlic/mum pot. I had to go out of town for two months. All the leaves, paper towels, and other scraps were broken down when I came home. They had probably been in the container for three or four months total.
Apparently, I didn't break two of my eggs. They were still whole in the broken down compost.
I'm afraid to break them now because I know they stank when I first put them in because I broke some in other containers 😂
They will probably explode when I tap them. I may just give the container a good hard shake with the lid on.
I live in a hot and humid climate so my stuff usually breaks down pretty quickly.
It's probably good to note that the container was pulled out of the pot and I found it a few yards away from the pot. Probably a raccoon smelling the eggs. The top was left in the pot but the eggs were still inside. Maybe they took something else out of it. The pot is by my chicken pen so that's why I'm guessing a raccoon 🦝.
Last year I learned how to make excellent compost tea. I sprayed onto cucumbers two or three times. Harvested last ones October 15 to save for seed. On Jan. 17 I decided not to wait any longer to process the seed. They still hadn’t decayed just laying on my work table downstairs. I don’t know if the tea biology preserved them, or if it released the soil calcium to do it’s thing… but three months shelf life is pretty awesome! I have dated photo documenting this.
absolutely with the proper nutrients things like cucumbers should last a long time in a semi fresh state because the plant wants to propagate the new generation come spring time!
Thank you. All your videos are great and brief.
Thanks for posting!
Hi Nate, I'm hoping you can answer my question. I've made my first batch of CA and I'm curious about the resulting liquid's concentration. 1. Does the 1 : 10 shell to vinegar ratio provide the most concentrate result? 2. If there is egg shell that has not dissolved does this signify that the resulting CA is at it's strongest ? Thanks and enjoy your day!
Yes, the reaction is over as he said
We’re so glad we found you! You’re now a household go to! Thank you!
Much love from Vermont!
Your videos are so helpful
I knew I was saving eggshells for a good reason. Are you talking about the thin film inside the shell? If so I've been rinsing that out. You make your own apple cider vinegar? P.s. you need a website as another place to store your videos and knowledge.
Rumble is a good place as the founder has publicly stated he will only delete illegal content.
yes but its still beneficial to do a light roast on them if you can... yes I make vinegar from apples I'll do a video this fall... and I'm going to be sitting up a telegram channel soon but I agree I need an actual website its just so much to learn!
How do you make your own vinegar?
I need to learn that as well.
I'll be making a video about that come fall time when the apples are ready to harvest ... thank you!
@@gardenlikeaviking thank you!
thanks mister ! great video, clear and documented
I throw egg shells in a baking tray in oven, the next time I roast or bake something they get cooked, I crush and put in jar. In the past I've just fed the crushed shell to chickens ir sprinkled through compost pile, now I have a much better way to use them thanks
Would this recipe work for humans too? I'm looking to increase my calcium levels that works better than pill supplements.
Answer this, please.
Also want to know
All you have to do is look up how long to bake the egg shells in even - powder them and add to juiced or smoothies yogurt
Sorry juices smoothies or yogurts
