Recycled crushed, washed and dried whelk shells. The large 12 litre bag contains approximately 11kg of shells, and is ideal for garden borders, beds, rockeries or as an outdoor plant pot topper.

The crushed shells can also be used for drainage or added to soil for aeration.
They also work well as mulch and as a gentle, natural slug deterrent when a generous layer is added around the base of plants - pour don't sprinkle!

This bag will give a generous coverage for approximately 1/2 a square metre and contains 3-4 times more crushed shells than our small hand-tied bags.

Caryl Andrews, Founder of Shell on Earth

Shell on Earth

New Quay, Wales

Hi, I'm Caryl, co-founder of Shell on Earth. I launched this company along with my husband, Jordan, in 2019. Our desire was to recycle the shells generated at our family's seafood processing business, rather than sending them to landfill.

We’ve been processing shellfish here on the West coast of Wales for over 40 years. We currently specialise in processing whelks.

The whelks are caught locally in traditional pots, a low impact method of fishing which means minimal damage to the sea floor and marine habitats. We’re passionately committed to sustainability and are always looking for new ways to do better.

It's estimated that 5,000 tonnes of waste shells are generated in the UK fishing industry every year. We’re proud to not only reduce our waste output from the factory, but also to help support a circular economy by utilising 100% of the whelks we process.
