  • Enhance the appearance of your garden: Seashells can add a touch of beauty and interest to your garden.

How to use large seashells for mulching and landscaping

  • Spread the seashells evenly around the plants: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of seashells around the plants, being careful not to bury the stems.
  • Water the plants: After you have applied the seashells, be sure to water the plants thoroughly.

How to use small seashells for mulching and landscaping

  • Do not use seashells in acidic soils. Seashells can raise the pH of the soil, which can be harmful to some plants.
