i’m in search to find out how long the egg water vinegar solution lasts. I’ve looked online and while I find different directions on how to come to the final product of ground eggshells as fertilizer… I have not found how long does it last without refrigeration. I also don’t have room for the refrigerator so I don’t put it in there anyway. the method I used was soaking the eggshells in water for half the day, then emptied water, rinsed and peeled out the membrane. Then baked in the oven 250° for 20 minutes. Then I just left them in there overnight and handled them the next day. I used the coffee grinder to get a fine powder. I’ve made two batches where I’ve removed the membrane and the other did not remove the membrane. Because I don’t have a direct answer and I’m using the Internet there’s lots of options and I guess opinions the. Just put them in two different labeled glass jars. As for the solution, I don’t exactly remember what I did, but let’s say I used a 1/2 cup of ground egg shells, and did 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. (I really don’t remember) Let it sit for an hour and then filled with water. The water smells even the first day. Do you know how long the solution lasts? Especially since it’s only used every couple weeks. I’m thinking I need to just make smaller batches, but am curious how long the solution lasts or at least if someone has an answer for what they do. TIA

@@jlr1176 I just keep the powder in a jar and mix up only what I’m going to use ans when I’m going to use it.

that's why I am here worried about potent scent!!

Right..if I have to cut the oven on I can actually just bake the wings in the oven for an hour🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

The vinegar is needed to get the calcium out of the egg shell. I’m not sure how much calcium is gained from just mixing egg shells in water

Can we use hard boiled egg shells or do they have to be raw egg shells

Do you rinse the egg shells after you add lemon and vinegar?

@@Janaerockwell No no no...! Just crush them up in a bag or bowl or a food processor to mince or chop them up "fine" then just add, "I like to use white vinegar and when you add it, it will start to bubble which is what creates the reaction that releases alot or most of the calcium in the eggshells. Then just mix that bowl of eggshells(after it's done bubbling) with the appropriate amount of water and presto!!! Hope that helps!

@@bennybenz. thanks for the info

@@lisahorne1474 Np👍😁I always did it with vinegar but supposedly lemon juice works good too...

It's delicious 😂

Yes I didnt want to act like a dick and leave any bad or discouraging comments to this Wonderful woman, BUT, YES you are supposed to add white vinegar or lemon to your (already) crushed eggshells which cause the chemical reaction that releases all the calcium because they are not water soluble and if you just top dress with it, it takes forever to breakdown and be available for food for your plants! 👍👌 So yes please add either lemon/vinegar and let it bubble till it done bubbling then dilute with water!!!😁😁😁

hell yes!!!!
