      The egg part looks interesting just wondering if it is beneficial for the growth? Looks like a great project for children.

      Yes, the guy in the video mentions the benefits of the nutrients in the egg. I thought it interesting that you had to peel the pips which makes sense to speed up the process. It would be a great project for kids ... for the cost of a lemon or lime.

        I know citrus are not ericacaous plants, but I do believe they prefer soil slightly on acid side.

        Not sure the calcium in the eggshell is a good idea.
