tomatoes love eggs

Now's the time to stop throwing your egg shells in the compost and keep them separate to plant with your tomatoes.

When you are going to plant the tomatoes, just throw some egg shells in the hole--- They help protect from blossom end rot. The calcium in the shells help the plant regulate water needs, so uneven watering, over watering, etc. will not kill them.

BUT more importantly b/c I love tomatoes:

The flavor of tomatoes comes mostly from volatile aromatic oils that actually appeal to our sense of smell NOT taste. And tomatoes NEED calcium to produce these oils.

I added them last year for the first time and it really worked. I strongly recommend using the eggs, so I just use an old coffee can to throw the eggs in and crush them as they pile up.
