To prepare the organic fertilizer he takes 60 kg of cow dung, 300g of egg shell (broken and powdered) and bore well crusher soil. He mixes all the three materials thoroughly and places them in a pit of 3’ x 3’ x 1’ size for 60 days. After that it becomes compost. This manure is sold at Rs 75 per kg to be used as foliar spray or for soil application. For foliar spray or soil application, one kg is dissolved in 100 liters of water for spraying in one acre.
Eggshells provide a rich source of potassium and calcium and are considered as the best fertilizer for outdoor flowers, fruits, and vegetables.
