So this is actually brilliant! Oyster shells are calcium carbonate and would work. I don't know if I would stick oyster shells in a blender😳. They are much thicker than an egg shell even crushed up. Maybe use an old blender. I go to Apalachicola once every 2-3 years. I might have to grab a handful of shells and try this out.
@@Dr.Warren I typically have crushed oyster shells on hand because we have Chickens. I was just thinking that it took an awful lot of work to get the egg shells ready to process......... especially if you have a large garden.
It should work but I would need to calculate molarity to figure out the correct ratios to run it to completion. 3 CaCO3(s) + 2 C6H8O7(aq) → Ca3(C6H5O7)2(aq) + 3 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l)
Interesting! I get very curious about what happens chemicly when you leave it for longer? Why should you not use it? I usually put eggshells in the microwave for 3 minutes before grinding them up and feeding them to my worms. But I will try this in spring! Thanks!

Pharmaceutical grade calcium acetate is good for 2-3 years when stored air tight in a temp and humidity controlled environment. Most people are going to store this in a garage or out building which means it probably isn't going to last as long
Typically in hydroponics you use some variation of hoglang solution that has 15+ other nutrients needed for plants. I want to do a video on that one as well. Hopefully soon.
Excellent information. I used to throw crumpled egg shells along with used tea leaves around my roses. Will try your recipe soon. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. That is great information.
can you do the same thing with crushed oyster shells

Thank you for your help this year. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
PS. Saving my egg shells now. 👍. Mary Thomson-Decatur, AL
You're welcome, Mary. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas! I'll be sure to start saving my egg shells too.
Just subscribed and am happy to of found you. I love new ideas of how to make my own natural fertilizer. Thanks
Thanks so much! I hope my channel helps you out. Is monetization still 1k subs? You are getting really close. I will get you one closer.
What if I substitute the Acetic acid with the citric acid instead?
Since both are weak acid, having a chelation ability, and of course the carbon chain

Can i use this on hydroponic?? And how much should i use,,means quantity,,
Seeing the full video but not feel bored.. It’s helpful.. Thanks
