Description
- 2 x 11kg bags
- Caught locally using sustainable methods
- Natural slug deterrent
- Ideal for garden borders, beds, rockeries
- Fully recyclable bag which is strong enough to reuse
Recycled crushed, washed and dried whelk shells make an ideal slug repellent for the garden.
A by-product from a small, sustainable family seafood business in the heart of West Wales. Whelks are caught locally with low-impact pots, processed for restaurants, and then crushed, washed three times, and dried into award-winning mulch. The large 12L bag contains approximately 11 kg of shells, and is ideal for garden borders, beds, rockeries or as an outdoor plant pot topper.
These crushed shells have multiple uses, such as improving drainage and aerating soil. They also act as a natural mulch to retain soil moisture and protect plants from slugs when applied in a 20-30mm layer around their base. They make a great substitution for potting grit and are extremely effective as a slug deterrent. Two bags will give coverage for approximately 1 square metre.
About Shell On Earth
Shell On Earth, a charming family venture led by Jordan & Caryl Andrews, transforms crushed whelk shells from their family’s seafood processing factory into garden and landscaping solutions. Located in Frondolau quarry in New Quay, West Wales, with a history of 40 years, the factory has a rich heritage of seafood processing and community involvement.
The journey started with Jordan's late grandfather who turned this site into a thriving seafood processing center for local fishermen and vivier lorries. With the help of Jordan's parents, the factory have broadened their scope to include the exceptional Welsh whelks, caught using traditional pots.
Shell On Earth, launched in 2019, proudly presents their collection of recycled whelk shells for gardens across the UK. With an estimated 5,000 tonnes of shells wasted every year in the UK fishing industry, their mission is to reduce waste and promote a circular economy. Each repurposed shell brings us one step closer to a greener future.
