Not at all. I often add them and crush them first. very satisfying. they might even help keep slugs at bay.

ah anything that keeps slugs and snails away can stay, thanks

Yes, mine's the same. Once the compost is dug into the soil the eggshells soon break up and dissappear. One thing that is a nuisance is tea bags - I have to chop them up first or else they come out just as they go in - in one peice! Surprising really....makes me wonder what they makes those bags out of?!

ooh didnt think of that I chuck them in whole or put them in the wormeries!!! poor worms ahhh

they used to be paper they are now a polyester fibre apparently.

Our organic tea bags compost down fine. Himself wont let me put egg shells in the compost as they take so long to break down and attract vermin

I think bloomer told me she dries them - how in a slow oven?? Does it make a difference?

Well that's new...heard of baked potatoes....but teabags?.....lol

No Sid the egg shells!!!

Drying 'should' make them more inclined to break down.

OH, right. LOL
