The decaying eggshell releases a small quantity of beneficial calcium into the soil. The crushed shell will not become dry and separate from it’s surrounding soil.
Yes it is true.

I believe it is the minerals in the egg shells that are beneficial to plants. There is calcium in egg shells which is something tomatoes need.

I'm sorry, but I thought you were talking about adding egg shell to the soil of your PANTS. I was trying to figure out why that would help...
But yeah, I'm pretty sure it helps plants.

Actually I think it's the lime/calcium in the egg shell.
