How to start seedlings in egg shells

Survival Archive does not advocate the use of Miracle Grow but their short film here is much appreciated because it demonstrates clearly what you can do when you don't have small seedling pots.

Eggs are perfect because the soil does not need to be removed from the 'pot' for transplanting. When the seedlings are developed, gently break the shell with your hand and plant out. The shell itself will provide nutrients for your plants. This technique can be duplicated in a vast number of creative ways using natural products instead of plastic or ceramic.

When fertilising your soil natural solutions are always best. I will upload some information on this subject in due course.

If you want to download this film it can be done from the corresponding post on LBRY:
