eggshells - I read crushed eggshells worked in the soil in and around new tomato transplants will prevent blossom end rot (lack of calcium in the soil). It worked for me last year.

Crush eggshells and scatter around new transplants in the garden to ward off cut worms.
egg shells (after 20 sec in microwave) can be crushed and mixed in with chicken feed to increase their calcium intake, thus reducing soft shell eggs.
Crush dried eggshells and apply to Squash, tomatoes and cucumbers as a calcium supplement for the soil. You can also use any old milk this way as well. Helps to prevent blossom rot.
