The green beans was transferred today to a bigger container to fully grow. I added some egg shells from all the yummy English breakfasts we had during the lockdown because when tilled into the soil, ground eggshells provide your plants with calcium. Though nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are most vital for healthy growth, calcium is also essential for building healthy “bones”—the cell walls of a plant.
