Crushed eggshells: natural barrier against snails and slugs

How does it work?

Crushed eggshells are used as a physical barrier to protect plants from attack by snails and slugs. Their sharp edges are uncomfortable for these mollusks, which avoid crossing them to avoid injury. It is a natural, simple solution and also allows you to reuse organic waste.

How is it prepared?

To prepare this barrier you only need:
- Clean egg shells (the amount depends on the area to be protected)
- Crush the shells well until you obtain small, pointed pieces.
They can be dried in the sun or in the oven before grinding, to facilitate the process.

How to apply it?

- Sprinkle a continuous line of crushed peels around the plants.
- Replace after heavy rain or watering, as they may lose effectiveness.
- Add more if gaps are observed in the barrier.
- Use continuously during the season of greatest slug and snail activity.
