Eggshell is 95% calcium carbonate, so many people use this element in the garden and at home. There are at least five options for its use in everyday life and country affairs.

Repels pests

Not too finely chopped shell can stop pests. For example, slugs, which are injured by sharp edges.

Feed for domestic birds

Chickens and ducks will happily eat eggshells. At the same time, they often eat their own eggs to make up for the lack of calcium carbonate.

Additive for coffee

The powdered shell is added to coffee to reduce the bitterness and acidity of the drink. The method is for amateurs, but there is a certain demand for this life hack.

Homemade toothpaste

Enthusiasts who like to experiment and find non-standard options have learned to make toothpaste from eggshells.

Whitens linen

The hostess was told the following method: put an eggshell in a dense woven bag together with slices of lemon. They claim that thanks to this tool you can whiten yellowed things.
