"Hi there, I'm @livinguktaiwan and I want to thank @rycharde for inviting to be the guest curator for this week's Tales from the MAP Room. It seems like only yesterday that I joined MAP when I first started out on Steemit, but its actually been over 7 months already! Coming back as a guest curator this week feels a bit like going back to secondary school (high school for a lot of people) after you left many years ago!" https://i.imgur.com/N3tY0qf.jpg Great to see your choice of posts @livinguktaiwan! But first, a quick message. --- ## MAP Rewarder A reminder that the [MAP Rewarder](https://steemit.com/mapforum/@accelerator/introducing-the-new-map-rewarder-passive-income-for-delegators-doc-1-0) is a new managed fund that distributes profits every week to SP delegators. It also supports MAP members, especially those new members who publish quality content. By delegating to MAP Rewarder, you will be earning more than pure self-upvoting *and* be helping minnow content creators. If you do not wish to delegate SP, you may help both MAP and yourself by following @accelerator; by following either the posts and/or the upvotes of @accelerator you will be earning higher curation rewards than average. This is because our upvotes are followed by larger bidbot votes. You may use the Curation Trail on [SteemAuto](https://steemauto.com/faq.php) to help manage this for you. --- ## Tales from the MAP Room [T.8] curated by @livinguktaiwan

Eggshells as a Calcium Source For Your Plants "Calcium is one of the most important nutrients plants absorb from the soil, used more than phosphorus.
