Yep. I throw crushed eggshells in the planting hole, too. Geraniums and roses also love calcium. Makes them BLOOM like crazy.

You will also see MUCH better production out of your veggie plants with added calcium. My Grandma used to pour milk at the base of her tomato plants. Same principle. :)

I don’t have any eggs for a day or two. Will some whole or 2% milk work for now? I could sprinkle a bit.

I buy crushed oyster shells at the farm feed store to deter slugs & snails plus add calcium to the soil
