Egg Shells? Safe?

felin

Hi,

I am brand new to vegetable gardening.

Thought I'd try to start my first ever compost pile. No clue how to, but will look around on this section.

Can egg shells be harmful? The reason that I ask is because of always having to be cautious of raw eggs when eating because of potential salmonella poisoning. Is that not an issue when adding them to a compost pile? Have heard that you should always rinse them first IF using them, but had someone in another section on this forum tell me that "No" I do not have to rinse them.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
