We have a household of two and I just started a 43 gallon capacity rotating composting bin. Our weekly egg consumption is high and there’s an additional load of volunteering (baking) where I have to dispose of 2-3 dozen egg shells at a time.

What’s the maximum number of shells I can expect to toss in the compost each week? Any ideas on how to dispose of the rest without going right to the trash? We only have recycling and yard debris pickup, no city compost options. Thanks in advance!

    All fair points. Honestly, acid rain is the comparison in my mind. I’ve also used 1:1 vinegar:water as an herbicide somewhat successfully.

    Of course, one can also use vinegar to acidify soil, say for changing the color of hydrangeas. Maybe I’m just too cautious.
