What do you do with your empty egg shells? We always toss them into our food scrap recycling bin. However, if we had a garden, we might use them there (we keep hearing about how good they are for plants). They're also good for a couple other things. Strange things ...

• Like we said, you can crush them up and use them in your garden.


• This is seasonally inappropriate, but you can make earth-friendly Cascarones.


• You can use them to make Egg Shell Sidewalk Chalk (we kid you not).


• You can use them as tiny seed-starter pots. Cute!

Do you do anything strange/wonderful with your egg shells?
