Digging holes and placing eggshells below your plants can assist in increasing the drainage capacity and air circulation of the soil.
This, in turn, helps plants stay healthy. Just remember that you’re going to have to replace the eggshells as they degrade.

7. Tomatoes
Tomatoes, aubergines and peppers can suffer from calcium deficiency when growing, which causes them to rot. One tip to avoid this is to bury eggshells in the soil. As stated previously, the calcium they contain can be absorbed by the soil and then used by the plants.
8. Keeping snails and worms at bay
A classic garden hack is to scatter broken eggshells around plants, flowers and crops. Apparently the shells are good for keeping snails and worms away, because they don’t like to go over them. All without touching pesticides!
