Results from my #biochar burn yesterday.

I work at a restaurant on the weekends and I decided to bring home all the eggshells.

I used to boil them to kill any progress and use them in the garden or supplements calcium for my chickens.

I decided to put them in the retort to see what would happen. I suspect that all the calcium remains, pathogens removed and maybe it's easier to be ingested or taken up by plants, but I have no actual evidence of this.

Korean natural farming has a technique of cooking the eggshells, but not until they char, then placing the shells in a fruit vinegar like apple cider vinegar. The resulting liquid is calcium acetate which can be used at a dilution as a calcium foliar feed.
