An afternoon well spent.

I decided to adorn our Indian Cart with some summery planters. I’ve topped the pots with our crushed shells, which will help retain moisture during the Summer months, they look prettier than soil and will help to deter slugs too.

@GardenBrocante @GardenBrocantee Urgh!! Drives me mad that stuff! Have reported them too in the hope that it helps x

@EllaBeard11 @darrenlakin2 That’s one downside of terracotta, being porous and breathable. I find that adding vermiculite to the compost can help to retain moisture

this beautiful natural resource. After many months of research and development and finally coming up with a name - Shell on Earth was born.

We’re proud to be stocked at over 150 gift shops, plant shops and garden centres nationwide including Kew Gardens and National Trust. 3/3

A snapshot of the process at our seafood processing business here is West Wales.

Established in the 70’s by my husband’s grandfather, our company has processed all manner of shellfish over the years from lobster and crabs to scallops and whelks.

Currently in its third generation, we now specialise in processing whelks.
In 2019 we launched Shell on Earth as a way of recycling the shells that are a by-product of our processing. We’re unable to put them back into the sea so we had to find a creative way of utilising 2/3
