Last year I was reading an article in a magazine about using eggshells as seed starters. They are biodegradable and are a source of calcium. I finally decided to try it. I have been saving shells for a while in the refrigerator. I think you are suppose to wash them to get any remaining yolk or white out.
I put soil in the eggshells and added the seeds and watered.

| that is a stick not a worm :-) |
As you can see, the egg carton is made of clear, plastic. I am hoping this is an added bonus and will act as a terrarium and help the seeds sprout.

| Hope this will help the seeds and soil stay moist |
The only other drawbacks were that:
1) there is no drainage hole so I don't know if I overwatered
 |
| not the neatest I have planted |
2) if a seed needed lots of depth (1 inch or more) it was difficult to find that much room
