9 www.SmallFarmCanada.ca Dear Editor, While reading your March/April edition of your magazine I was reading “How to make eggshell powder”. In that article on page 11, it said that you could grind up your shells in a coffee grinder. I have tried this and the eggshells took the finish off the inside of the grinder. I wouldn’t recommend doing this in a coffee grinder. I just thought that you might like to know. - Audrey V., Deloraine, MB In the March/April 2025 issue of SFC, Waste Not featured how to “supercharge” garden soil. One idea was to grind eggshells, using a coffee grinder as shells can take a long time to break down. Audrey’s experience while unfortunate is a useful caution. Best to err on safety and crush shells by mortar and pestle or even a rolling-pin. - Julie We would like to thank readers for their letters in response to ‘From Scraps to Sprouts’ originally published in the Mar-Apr 2025 issue of Small Farm Canada magazine. We are re-publishing it here with the letters to give you the full story.
