I like the way you give the info without a lot of pontificating (in order to show us how smart you are.) You get right to the point, and give clear directions. Thank-you so much!
Great video! I've definitely added expired vitamins to my compost bins and watered plants with spoiled milk! I use any water I cook with to plants because I can't waste anything!
I bake eggshells, powder them fine, reduce them vinegar and dilute the liquid 1: 20 and water my tomatoes. Yet, Blossom End Rot, even as it manifests as a calcium deficiency, its rarely so. Its more an inconsistent watering problem. When water is less, the calcium uptake decreases and the plant gives preference to leaves rather than fruit. One may find BER on fruits higher up on the stem and none on the lower fruits. That's the watering problem. To overcome this, deep water the plant, keeping it in shade, strip-off all the lower and older leaves; add some calcium water too and once fresh leaves sprout , move the container into sunlight. And water consistently and regularly.
@@SA-nk8sc I bake them at full volume till the eggshells start turning creamish in colour. Crush them up a bit with a spoon before baking; it'll smell bad if there's that egg membrane still stuck to the shells. After mixing eggshells to vinegar (or vice versa), a lot of the eggshells will dissolve into the vinegar. Thats the fluid you'll use, suitably diluted. You could strain off the extra eggshell powder. Hope this helps.
My mom tried eggshell water this year. A lot of it. The results were night and day. Everything is big, green and lush. She lives in the middle of town where the soil is pretty much spent of a lot of nutrients. Her compost bin is pretty small in comparison to the garden size. Last year there was a real problem with blossom end rot and blight. We took a look at the different plants and figured it was calcium deficiency. It's just past mid season and everything looks incredible. It's amazing how doing one small thing can have such a huge impact.
This is the best video I have found so far explaining calcium and why some sources of calcium don't work well for plants with severe calcium deficiency.
So glad I hit upon this site. So much usable info for making my garden healthier and more productive. I'll be spreading the word about this site. Love it.
Great advice, I was desperate one year and used tums for foliar spray. One tomato had end rot, the others grew normally. I used many of your own advice on other things and they all work well.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mate, best description of calcium use yet, it takes a good understanding of the subject matter to simplify it into useful knowledge for the layman. Awesome! will be watching more of your videos.
it has been decades since blossom end rot was an issue. of course, there was no interweb back then. i incorporate ground-up eggshells into my soil mixes. for fairly quick calcium availability i used dehydrated nonfat milk ... 👌🏿
My parents always added oyster shells bought from the feed store. It too took many years to decompose, but if you add it every year especially for our heavy clay soy it was a good long term solution. They used to be very cheap, last time I got them though it was pretty expensive.
You can add vinegar and you shells in a jar, place a cloth on top, leave it for 5-10 days, filter the liquid and you'd have the calcium (calcium acetate I believel immediately available for your plants
excellent, I'm headed out to the garden now with some chalk...better to get it there before they bloom. I just planted the tomatoes a few days ago. Thank you
Roast or bake egg shells in a pan oven or bbq then put in coffee grinder. Mix 1 cup shells with 1 cup vinegar in a jar and let sit for a week or 2. Mix 1 tablespoon to 2 gallons of water, can also add 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt to every gallon for cheap cal/mag.
I have tried your vinegar hack buried chalk in pots using egg shells but gypsum not available all very useful can use alternative that's why I won't miss your hacks it's easy to try thanks
Have you tried crushed limestone or oyster shells? I have a machine I got from Bottle Crusher LLC that is used for crushing glass bottles into usable sand. It can also crush limestone and oyster shells. I added crushed oyster shells to the glass sand to use as mulch. It kept the plant's roots cooler and moist while the surface remained dry. No weeds or bugs. I planted a rose bush and 4 flowers using this mixture. The bush and flowers grew like I gave them steroids. I am now experimenting with glass sand, cow manure, limestone to see how they grow. I recently got 4 orchards and I'm going to use limestone cullet as a soil.
Best video ever showing easy and simple ways to eliminate calcium deficiency in plants. Specially the calcium deficiency in my tomato plants is killing them. Now I can easy fix the problem.😎
2 thumbs up Humans cannot absorb calcium for the store either Thanks I think this is my main problem I've tried the egg shells Now going to try the egg water
Thank u so much.. I want a substitute for bone meal n egg shell.. I ask about lime. Bt told me tht its nt for plants... Now i will use... Chalk pieces or dolomite....thnku so so so much 🌸🌸
If you have blossom end rot issues be sure you are maintaining proper moisture levels as well as having enough readily available calcium. Uptake is also important
I live in a sort of swamp and the fall fungus is horrible, everything turns brown and yellow come to the end of the growing season, but, also during the growing season for some plants. My one tomato barrel showed end rot, so I used dried milk solution and it worked with a few applications and feedings. Cheap solution
Most videos talk about egg shells. If you are a vegetarian you do not have this option. This video was very helpful with variety of options for source of calcium.
Well, personally i simply apply rabbit urine. It's rich in nitrogen and calcium. So powerful is rabbit urine that you need to dilute with water using a ratio of 1:5, otherwise you will scotch the plants. Rabbit urine is also good because its a natural way of fertilizing your plants, an excellent option for organic farming enthusiasts. As it is 100% natural, there is no waiting people from day of application to first harvest date - you can even harvest soon after applying it. Another advantage of rabbit urine is that it also works as an insecticide. The strong smell that it produces while applying it and its sour and burning sensation kills garden pests such as aphids.
We use "bunny hunny" (dried rabbit pellets/manure) frequently locally sourced from a friend of my late father, but hadn't heard/didn't know that about their urine. Will have to look into that some more. Not allowed rabbits ourselves since the annexation into town limits. No doubt urine was part of the compost also used to source from them (they compost the rabbit hutch bedding material) before establishing our own current compost set up. After annexation not allowed open manually turned compost bins anymore, so started sourcing from them, but have one of the allowed rotating enclosed composters now.
Calcium deficiency is most commonly not due to lack of calcium, rather it is because of improper watering practices. Almost all those sources you mentioned are actually more expensive than a bag of fertilizer with calcium in a form the plants can use.more readily. If you raise chickens maybe the eggs are the exception. If you want cheap gypsum use drywall scraps.

Interesting!
Thanks for sharing. At what temperature to bake? After adding vinegar the eggshel mix should be liquid ?

Today , I saw end rot disease of Tomato , now I got to know it's all about calcium deficiency .. Thank you so much !
usually but uneven watering will do that too

Great video
Is she uses the water after soaking egg shells into it? Or simply crushes the egg shell and uses that powder?
@@NizamMaster uses the water after soaking egg shells. Smells awful after a while.
I made an eggshell and vinegar mix and put it in a peanut butter jar months back. Watching this video now I remember where I put it lol thanks!!
You answer my problem in growing plants, thanks , your such a genius.

I have used chalk powder diluted with water and supplied to the plant and I got more flowers.thank you very much for sharing.
Is that very effective in any types of vegetable plants or flowers?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Mate, best description of calcium use yet, it takes a good understanding of the subject matter to simplify it into useful knowledge for the layman. Awesome! will be watching more of your videos.
You are to be commended my friend. Excellent teaching technique!!!
Greetings from 🇧🇷 Brazil. Thanks! I'll try this method.
I am from India. Very nice information in short video on usage and manufacturing of calcium from waste materials.
Good treatment to save the plants from getting wrotten
Thank you
Very clear explanation
it has been decades since blossom end rot was an issue. of course, there was no interweb back then. i incorporate ground-up eggshells into my soil mixes. for fairly quick calcium availability i used dehydrated nonfat milk ... 👌🏿
Exactly, I found my problem here, in this vid. Tip of Leaves was turning brown. No wonder Calcium deficiency. Will try Eggs shell + vinegar. 🤗😁
After 2 months. How did it go with the vinegar and eggshells.
Black board chalk stocks are made from gypsum in South India. However use of calcium supplements by chalk stick is a very good option.
My parents always added oyster shells bought from the feed store. It too took many years to decompose, but if you add it every year especially for our heavy clay soy it was a good long term solution. They used to be very cheap, last time I got them though it was pretty expensive.

Thank you my garden friend . Saved me time , money and frustration .. truly . Thank you 🙏
love the egg shell and vinegar/lime trick. Will have to try it this summer!
