        I put my eggshells in my "garden blender" with the rest of the kitchen
scraps, and puree them. Then I feed them to the worm buckets. Two weeks
later, I have garden ready soil to spread.
        My worm buckets keep my garden full of earthworms and avoid the need
for a large compost pile. I just wish I could find wider, shorter
buckets because the bottoms get a little rank...
