My attempt at using eggshells for plants backfired with pests
I keep hearing about using crushed eggshells to give plants more calcium. So I sprinkled some in the pots for my balcony peppers. Not long after, I saw a bunch of small flies hanging around the plants. The shells were just sitting there and seemed to attract the bugs. I scooped them all out and wiped down the soil. The fly issue cleared up pretty fast. Have you tried any home remedies that didn't work out?
