Egg shells are comprised of calcium and while not the first chemical that your lawn needs, it couldn't hurt. Just don't be surprised at how long it can take to decompose.

egg shells add calcium to the soil,i dry them thoroughly in the sun,since moist shells can harbour harmful organisms,crush & either dig into the soil around a plant or add to the compost heap.

Yep, what all the brilliant beautiful people said AND the crushed shells deter nasty slugs from your garden -- sharp edges of the shell slice their slimy little bellies.
