What To Do With Those Dyed Easter Eggs

MARYLAND - 4/8/2009

Maryland Department of Natural Resources would like to share the following Smart, Green, Growing Tip of the Week:

Coloring eggs is a fun family pastime during the spring holiday season. When the decorated eggs have been eaten or reached their expiration as ornamental items, compost the shells or add them to the soil of your vegetable garden (tomatoes love the calcium in eggshells) instead of throwing them in the garbage.

Happy Easter!
