If you're trying to add some calcium to a smaller area of soil, eggshells can be an effective and thrifty solution. To start using eggshells in your garden, simply save the empty shells you accrue from cooking and baking. Eggshells need to be as dry as possible before you can use them in soil. This will help their calcium be absorbed into the soil fully. Set your eggshells aside in an empty coffee can or other dry container. Dry eggshells should grind up easily. The powder should have the consistency of ground coffee or flour. The finer you grind the shells, the more effectively the soil will absorb their calcium. Mix the powder into the soil after spreading it by using a tilling machine or your hands, if the area is small. Adding the powder a few weeks before you plant your seeds will help ensure that the soil is in good condition for growing. If there are already plants growing in the soil, though, spread the powder around the plants. Add about 2 tablespoons (30ml) (28.3 g) of eggshell powder into 1 gallon (3.8L) and stir. Once it's combined, pour the mixture over plants and soil alike. Monitor the growth of your plants. If you think they are having difficulty growing, add more eggshell powder to improve the soil. If your plants seem to be flourishing, you probably won't need to add any more.

Summary: Save eggshells. Store eggshells in an empty container for at least 2-3 days to dry them. Grind the eggshells into a powder using a food processor or blender. Till the powder into the soil. Mix the eggshell powder with water if you don't have a tiller. Add more eggshell powder as needed.

Farming is a term in which the player changes her or his attributes of attacking and defending so that s/he is mostly focused on resources, not trophies. It involves intentionally losing so that you drop down to lower levels, giving you the opportunity to attack weaker opponents. Since Clash of Clans has several systems in place to try to prevent farming, it requires manipulating some things in your favor. Farming is based both on trophies and your Town Hall level. You receive penalties for attacking towns that are more than one level below your Town Hall, so you'll need to balance your level and your trophies. More on that later. Before you start farming, you will want to ensure that your town is set up properly to both protect your resources and allow you to lose enough to drop down to the level you want to be at. There are several strategies to keep in mind when designing your town. Protect your storage's. Since you are farming for resources, you don't want your spoils going to a lucky invader. Place your storage's in the center of your town, surrounded by several walls and various defensive buildings. Place your Town Hall in your second layer of walls. This may seem like it will hurt, but that's the whole point. It gives you more room in your base for storages. People will also attack you, and if you put it inside the walls, but not in the core, many attackers will go for the Town Hall, getting 30% which equals a free 13 hr shield. Putting your Town Hall in the corner is not good because a Town Hall is worth 2 storages now. Do not put your storage's right next to each other. If you put them together, if the attackers get to your storage's, they have gotten to them all. By spreading them out, you reduce your overall loss of resources. Place high-level resource collectors inside walls and leave the others outside. Keep checking the game after every 6 to 8 hours and collect the resources from the collectors. This achievement is awarded after you win a certain number of trophies from multiplayer battles, and gives you almost enough gems to purchase the third Builder's Hut. This is essential for keeping your town upgraded. This is widely considered to be the ideal range for farming, as it allows you to get significant amounts of resources without coming across enemies who are too powerful.If you have very good troops and a strong base you can climb up to 2000-2500 trophies because there you usually find more loot especially dark elixir. Your Town Hall level dictates the amount of loot you can get from raids on other towns. If you attack a Town Hall two levels below yours, you will only receive 50% of the loot, and even less for town hall levels lower than that. However, there is no bonus for attacking town hall levels above yours. Max out the upgrades for each of your defensive buildings, army buildings, and walls before upgrading your Town Hall. The best Town Hall level for farming is generally 5-7, but can definitely be applicable at the upper town hall levels as well.

Summary: Understand the basics of farming. Configure your town. Get the "Sweet Victory" achievement. Get about 1,100-1,200 trophies. Don't rush to upgrade your Town Hall.

After the mother fish gives birth, you can return her to the community tank (assuming you separated her). The fry will now be free to develop without threat of being eaten. Baby platy fish do not require different food from adults. You can feed them the same pellets or flakes that you feed the adults, as well as freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex, and brine shrimp. Feed the fish small amounts several times a day, about as much food as they can eat in three minutes. Some platy owners like to crush or grind pelleted or flaked food before feeding it to fry, as this will make it easier for them to eat. For platy fish to develop the brilliant colors that make them so beautiful, they must be fed a varied diet early in life, containing both protein and plant-based foods. Specially formulated food is commercially available for platy fry, but is not necessary. Just as with your adult platies, you'll need to keep the tank for the fry clean. Changing 25 percent of the water every two to four weeks is typically adequate, but this depends on the number of fish. If the water becomes cloudy or full of debris, it should be changed more often. Once they have grown large enough to fend for themselves, you can move the young fish to the community tank with the older fish. Platy reach full size after about four months. If you decide to try to introduce them to the community tank sooner than that, keep an eye on them to make sure they aren't being eaten by the adults.
Summary: Return the mother to the community tank. Feed the fry. Keep their tank clean. Introduce new fish into the community tank.
