Reviews
It’s been a couple of years now when I first found Shell on Earth. Since then Ive bought a couple of the bigger bags every year. Either at a garden nursery (mid wales) or online. I use it primarily for my pots or in the past in storm candle holders as a decoration. I love seeing it in my pots and they definitely help with water retention. 5star. I love the ethics of the company and they’re based in my home country of Wales 🏴
Love this product. Just ordered 2 more large bags at 2 for £30. Makes pots look amazing. I ordered one bag to try and had used it within an hour of it being delivered. I did spread it generously though. I did 12 pots with one large bag.
My second purchase, and my patio looks much better for it. I have topped my planters, and added it to the slab edges. Fabulous stuff.
I purchased this for my strawberry beds.
I’ve used straw as mulch before, to keep down the weeds, hold in heat at night and stop fruit going rotten when the soil gets wet, however the slugs love to hide in it. I’m hoping the whelk shells will accomplish the same goals, as well as deterring slugs, holding in moisture and reflecting a bit of light. It’s a big ask, but I’m happy so far. I’m hoping when the plants need replacing, I’ll be able to dig in the shells for better aeration and drainage.
The slugs were decimating my dahlia shoots, scabious & two clumps of Helianthus. I surrounded them with a wide band of the crushed shells, deep enough to cover the soil completely and went on holiday for two weeks. I’m delighted to say that all of the plants survived and have put on lots of new growth with no slug damage ( see photo). I shall be ordering more! It looks good & is a great way to utilise what would otherwise be a waste product. Well packaged & trouble free delivery. Good value.
