My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Egg Shells, banana peelings etc.

21 years ago

I read that people put egg shells in the soil for their roses. How does this help them and do you just crumble them up and put them in the dirt? I also read about banana peelings What are some other things that are good and why. Thank you.
