Its good for them because it is high in calcium (and I am sure a few other 
things).  I dont think it matters how much water you add, but I'd make sure 
it was at least enough to cover the shells (crush them first, add a cup of 
water?).
Other things great for your plants.  Coffee grounds, water from your fish 
tank.  I have a mini-flower plot just outside my door.  Call it 3 feet from 
my 70 gallon aquarium.  When we drain and replace some of the fishtank water, 
we just sling the hose out to the flower plot.  I have a very *lush* flower 
plot!
