Don't Throw Your Egg Shells Away! Pest Proof Your Garden!

The next time you boil up some eggs, save the shells, crush them up, and scatter them around the stalks of any plants in your garden that you wish to protect. Those eggs shells will keep away slugs and snails.

Do you live in rural areas and have deer wander in and bother your plants? They are beautiful animals; however, they love to come around and snack on garden flowers. So, sprinkle eggs shells around your flower beds, too. Deer don't like the smell of egg shells so they are known to steer clear of plant beds with egg shells. Do try natural first before chemicals.

Have a great day,
Donna

Welcome to My "Garden Life" Blog

I am so glad you stopped by. I will be sharing pesticide-free gardening hints, decorating a garden, and so much more. Gardening is life and growth and we should have fun enjoying it.

I love to go out in the morning and smell the air after a rain. I love to hear the birds in the morning, feeling the dirt, and watch flowers grow and bloom. There's nothing lovelier than walking outside and taking in the fragrance of your a lavender plant in bloom. A garden is teaming with life, and to be a part of all that is nature is a miracle in and of itself.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Email me at donnastips@gmail.com .

God bless,
Donna
