Shell on Earth Crushed Whelk Shells

Crushed whelk shells offer a natural way to finish and care for your indoor plant pots. Recycled, washed and dried, these shells create an attractive top dressing that suits cacti, succulents and a wide variety of houseplants.

This product is a bag of recycled crushed whelk shells designed for topping plant pots or mixing into soil to help improve drainage.

The smaller bag size is ideal for indoor use, allowing you to add a decorative and practical layer to smaller pots. The shells can also be blended into soil or compost to help create a freer-draining growing environment.

Produced by Shell on Earth, a small family business run by husband and wife team Jordan and Caryl Andrews, the shells are reclaimed from those generated at their family seafood processing factory. By repurposing this by-product, the business helps reduce waste within the UK fishing industry while supporting a circular approach to garden materials.
