I can't leave my house, you can imagine why :) Is there a way to make home-made calcium fertilizer? I heard about eggs but I'm not that convinced, would be great if you know some way you also tested, thanks for your help guys

If you have vinegar then you can crush up eggshells and pour just enough vinegar over them to cover the eggshells. You want to soak it uncovered for a few weeks and keep adding vinegar to keep the eggshells covered. In about 3 weeks you will have a water soluble calcium supplement for your plants. It is slightly acidic so very easy on the dosing. But with that being said most tapwater has more than enough calcium to keep your plants happy.

@Mrs_Larimar Thank you.. Situation is not that clear so I won't order it online for now.. So would it be good if I let two or three eggshells in water for a day and then feed the plant? Do I have to remove the shell from water before feeding? Thanks for the interest :)

Hello, yes you can , I already made it. You can blend eggshells and feed your Plants. Maybe you have some calcium pills at home)=? . You can use them too. If you live by the sea shells do a good job too. And btw... if you order your calcium the postman brings it to you^^... so get well soon

@geminigrow For a quick fix you could try some Whole Milk or Yoghurt Diluted with water and sprayed on Plus Egg shells contain calcium but take some time to break down
