National Trust Shell on Earth Crushed Whelk Shells Clearance

Recycled crushed, washed and dried whelk shells. This bag size is ideal for top dressing smaller indoor plant pots. Great for cacti, succulents and houseplants. Alternatively you can mix the shells into soil or compost to improve drainage.

Shell on Earth is a small family business run by husband and wife team Jordan & Caryl Andrews. They take the crushed whelk shells generated at their family’s seafood processing factory and recycle them for use in gardens and landscaping.

It’s estimated that 5000 tonnes of waste shells are generated in the UK fishing industry every year. Shell on Earth are proud to not only reduce their waste output from the factory, but also to help support a circular economy by utilising 100% of the whelks that they process.
