Anyone with a green thumb knows that good soil is the most essential part of gardening. But this simple but unusual trick will show you how to add some nutrients to the soil that it usually does not have.

You'll need the following:

Pot

Plant soil

Raw egg

First, you'll need a place where you would like to plant your plants, depending on the seed you use, you may want to do this in direct sunlight or in shaded areas. And this is where you will plant the egg. Yes, you read that right.

People have long known that what's so nutritious in an egg is also good for plants. The limestone in the shell serves as fertilizer while the content of the egg yolk is rich in calcium. This helps the plants germinate and ensures that the roots don't rot.

Now take your pot and fill it roughly 2 inches with soil. Place an egg in the middle of the pot - if it rots, it serves as a natural fertilizer. Then cover the egg with soil. Because the egg is added completely, the nutrients inside are given off over a long period of time.

Tip: Some hobby gardeners swear that bananas also work great as fertilizer. Try it out!

Depending on what kind of plants you would like to grow, it's time to plant the seeds according to the instructions on the package.

#6

The special part about this trick is that you can use old eggs that have already gone past their expiration date. This way you don't have to throw anything away and the valuable chicken eggs still have a function. Try it out yourself!
