Re: Sea Shells
I would be very careful gardening with bare or even gloved hands if you add
crushed sea shells to your soil. Yes they do have beneficial minerals for
the soil. But how long would it take for those shells to break down to the
point that the minerals would be available for use by plants growing in the
soil? And also would be cautious of the salt content of sea water shells.
Maybe bring back some seaweed and compost it???
