They can be good for moderating acidic soils especially if  your trying
to grow something that prefers a higher ph...Dont over do as you will
then have to reverse the process.They are useful as well to deter
slugs/snails(they dont like travervsing over them to get to the plant)
so they can be used around plants that are s/s targets.
