DIY Water Soluble Calcium Fertilizer Using Eggshells and Vinegar

 

    This is the Youtube Video on water soluable calcium fertilizer made from just egg shells and vinegar. Just need to the the proportion right. 

    The ingredients are egg shells, which I get often from my dad and I do keep them myself. I also grinds them into powder often for my plants but as you know, they don't break down so easily, even in powder form. As for vinegar, she uses white vinegar but I am interested to know if eco-enzyme, which is also a form of vinegar, should work as well as it is free for me. I can also buy cheap white vinegar in bulk if I need to do this often. The ratio of vinegar and egg shell powder is 10:1. 

Tips:

• When mixing the two ingredients, note not to make too much as the process builds up many bubbles and may over-spill from the container. Either use a bigger container or make small portions. 
• The process takes about two weeks to completely dissolve the egg shells. So use a breathable material, cloth or paper coffee strainer to cover the top. The process produces carbon dioxide so do not have a tight lid over the container. 
• The completed concentrated solution needs to be diluted with ration of calcium solution with water is 30ml : 4.5L. 
• Spray the diluted solution on both sides of the leaves. Apply during morning or evening to prevent heat stress. 
• If too many concentrated solution, can dilute in bigger volume and use the diluted solution for adding to compost or water your plants.
