  • 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.

      if you have a compost pile, blending your eggshells to a powder can help insects decompose the eggshells more easily, and I promise it works!

    If you blitz the toasted eggshells in a blender or coffee grinder, it makes a powder with much more surface area, and it dissolves a lot faster. I keep a ziploc of eggshell powder handy, and mix a 1:3 ratio of powder to vinegar, give it a good stir, and its ready the next day to dilute it about 1 tbsp per gallon in my watering can for foliar feed and soil drench. Worked wonders on my tomatoes suffering from BER last year.

      I was wondering….I’m making my first batch of this calcium acetate and I had unthinkingly already crushed days old dried eggshells using a mortar so most them were near powder form or very small pieces. I re-watched this video and added some more less crushed shells and put them in the oven at 200c for just over 30 minutes (seen on other channels). I roughly poured 10 parts organic apple vinegar into a jar and sprinkled in 1 part of my charred shells, a lot of rough powder.
      That was in the morning. By night time it had virtually stopped bubbling. Left over night and it is completely still, shells on the bottom, still smells of vinegar.
      Is this good to use?

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.

Filter off the chunks, and use at a similar dilution rate.

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.

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.

    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,

    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.

    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 did not know your recipe for the liquid calcium and will try it. Last year was my first gardening year ever and I learned a lot. And I made mistakes from the beginning thinking we would have food security problems. The prices are insane! I felt pressed for time. This year I started much better with a plan. I also prepared the beds much better. I built raised beds over the beds I dug last year. I bought a lot of soil and compost because I had no other choice. I only have clay and stones here. I am so grateful for everything you teach us! I will prepare the JADAM solution tomorrow. I made the fish fertiliser and the urea fertiliser, and I made a nettle tea because we had nettles by the river this year. I've never bought fertiliser from the shop before. So I can't compare that to homemade. I love making all these natural things myself.

    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.

    • @cangel201

      Are you saying we can use lemon juice instead of vinegar?

    • @markzambelli
      @markzambelli Год назад +3

      @@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

    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.

      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 🦝.
