Soil that is 6.5 is slightly acidic, meaning the calcium carbonate from the eggshells (not to mention the phosphorous, magnesium, and other micros) will slowly leach out. However, calcium carbonate is alkaline, so it will probably be a very small amount released every time you water. You should look up eggshell tea. Just make sure the eggshells are thoroughly rinsed and dried before you try, and make sure the inner membrane has been fully removed.
