Love this preservation method!!! We use it every year!

Apologies if this has been addressed already, but what do you all do with spent lime water? It does not seem like it would be good to pour it down the sink.

I just throw mine on my flower bed, where I have only rocks and no flowers growing

Good question. I think this has been addressed but can't remember. I wish there was a way to search in a thread for keyword.

I was thinking about dumping mine in the compost pile. I know lime can be good for gardens. I'm not sure if that would be too concentrated, though.

I have been pouring mine down the drain, but I run plenty of water at the same time to help dilute it further. We use the high lime to water ratio to provide maximum saturation for preserving the eggs.
