Recycling

 Ailz read somewhere that if you scrunch up eggshells and throw them out into the garden the wild birds will eat them and the minerals will go to strengthen the eggs they lay themselves. So that's what I've been doing. 

And if the eggshells aren't eaten by birds they break down and feed the  soil so either way it's good.

Snail shells work too.

Blue tits love them!

This is true, but it's considered better to wash the shells and bake them first.
