Hi everyone,
I need to check out an old wives tale.  My greatgrandma used to tell me to
save the water off of boiled eggs and to use it in the garden.  She'd say it
made the plants grow better.  I was wondering if this might be due to the
calcium from the shells leaching into the water.  If this is so, would it
deter blossom end rot in my container tomatoes?
Last year I had a problem with my container tomatoes and I'm looking for a
cheap and easy way of fixing it.  I'm gona experiment with it this year and
see if it helps.  If anyone else has heard of this or knows of any sites,
please let me know.  If anyone one thinks this might hurt, please let me
know.  I won't be experimenting right away.
Thanks and Good Gardening
