| Feed your Tomato's Found this in a book called Garden Remedies and you should see my tomato's they are taking over. 4 egg shells all crushed up and you place them either in the soil before your put the tomato in or, I put them after the fact and dug deep near the roots and placed the eggs shells. Apparently tomato's need calcium and this provides it naturally. Each plant should get 4 egg shells.

| I've heard of the whey - I was going to try that next time I make yoghurt cheese. Do you know how much whey per plant they are supposed to get? I've never heard of the eggshells though. I will start saving them and try it!
