What's that smell?
You may wonder what I do with my rubbish when I'm out and about. I put it in my increasingly smelly handbag ofcourse. Today I'm taking home a soup can to go into my recycling bin. I also have two banana skins which need a home as I'm yet to get a compost bin.
Don't worry, I haven't thrown out my food waste from last week. I've saved it in an ice cream tub in my fridge. My housemate must think I'm on a new diet of egg shells and onion peel.

DEFRA (the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs) have a report on their website which may interest you:
Utilisation of egg sgell waste from UK egg processing and hatchery establishments.
According to their confidential report, "eggshell membrane can be used to eliminate heavy metal ions from a dilute waste solution". I bet you'll be able to sleep sounder knowing that!
Thanks. After days of trying to avoid the suggestion that I use the egg shells, it seems they are actually quite useful - they can even be made into chalk.
Got a veg patch? put crushed egg shells round your brassicas. slugs can't moveover the egg shell surface.
