    The used vinegar becomes calcium acetate solution, which makes an excellent calcium supplement for plants! Save it to use as a foliar spray (diluted), add some to liquid fertilizer, or sprinkle it onto the compost pile to incorporate it into the compost. You might want to use some litmus paper to check that the acidity is reduced enough before adding directly to plants or soil, but putting it into the compost would manage that for you...

    I watched your video last night and I thought it was an awesome thing to try so I did only I did a bunch of 30 as a test. And I'm glad I only did 30 I only got 21 out of the bunch because some of them when they crack the vinegar does get inside and they do taste totally horrible so I won't be doing it this way anymore. They also seem to have a more tougher rubbery texture and I don't like that. That it is as you say they are very easy to peel and I don't know how you managed to do 115 in 15 minutes because I did 30 and it still took me almost a half hour you go girl!

      @@homesteadevolution I have a house/rescue coturnix quail who loves her baked eggshells. There's no risk of murcury as you might have in oyster shells (though miniscule) and it gives back some of the nutrients back. It's safe, because you know the source and inexpensive. I use a morter and pestle to grind it. I've also never seen her attempt to break open one if her eggs as I've heard some chicken keepers complain of. She'd much rather her mealworms or greens.
