Egg shells?

Which vegetables are appreciative of the calcium in eggshells? I noticed several people mentioning it in the comments. Our chickens are starting to put off a dozen eggs a day, so I’m not exactly short on egg shells (but how shall I use the eggs?). I just wonder what the most effective way to use them would be.

As far as I know, calcium is one of those trace minerals that can be of use generally. I’ve saved my eggshells and have several milk jugs of them. I untend to use my old blender and pulverize them and use them throughout my garden. They are certaily dry enough. Can you freeze eggs for use later, in quantities that would be useful in a recipe (like three to a package)?

The only thing I ever hear it mentioned for is tomatoes, to prevent blossom end rot. I didn’t have any onion plants left. Sorry.
