Do Eggshells Actually Stop Snails? | Garden Starters | Episode 5

Welcome back to episode 5 of Garden Starters with Ben & Darcy! It might be raining out there again, but that’s not stopping the guys from tackling two of the most persistent gardening myths on the internet.

In this episode, Darcy brings some big assumptions to the table, and Ben is ready with the facts, and a few slimy friends to prove his point.

Myth 1: All insects are pests. Darcy thought every bug was out to kill his plants, but Ben explains why that is absolutely incorrect. You'll learn why "good bugs" like ladybirds, hoverfly larvae, and native bees are crucial for eating nasties like aphids and pollinating your garden. Stop squashing every bug you see and start working with Mother Nature.

Myth 2: Crushed eggshells stop snails and slugs. It's a viral hack you see everywhere online, but does it actually work? Ben brings live snails to the table to put Darcy's eggshells to the ultimate real-time test. Watch what happens when the snails meet the shells.
