Crushed, washed and dried whelk shells in our fully recyclable hand-tied paper bag.

 

The shells are a sustainably sourced biproduct from our family's seafood processing business on the west coast of Wales.

 

Our shells are ideal as a decorative top dressing to enhance indoor plant pots and terrariums. Great for cacti, succulents and most houseplants. 

 

Uses & Benefits

- Plant pot and terrarium top dressing

- Mix into compost for improved drainage and soil aeration

- An effective barrier to prevent fungus gnat infestation

 

This bag contains approximately 3Kg of shells.

For larger pots or bigger projects, check out our

Large (11kg) and XL (18kg) bags.

 

Why not add on one of our Potting Cups -The perfect tool for scooping and decanting shells and other substrates.

 

By using our shells, you're helping us to make a dent in the estimated 5,000 tonnes of waste shells generated in the UK fishing industry every year.

 

* This is a natural product from the sea and we do our best to remove any foreign material. 

* The shells may occasionally hold on to some aroma due to their porous nature. This will normally disappear within a day or so of being exposed to the air and will not affect their performance.

      Very versatile

      Delivered quickly. I have used both the compost and shells to repot an indoor plant, as drainage for outdoor plants and even sprinkled some on top of my latest project. I would definitely buy again.

      Snail deterrent

      This product works perfectly to keep snails and slugs off my treasured plants like the alstromeria froim my late father's garden, my hosta which unfortunately these creatures love and my strawberries which they love even more. Am pleased to have found something which doesn't involve poison or cause any other harm. will be back for more I am sure.
