The Garden is our Oyster

 So for Father's Day, we grilled up a few T-bone steaks, russet potatoes and threw on a few oysters as well. Oh, and dessert was a cherry cobbler cake and low fat ice cream. It was awesome 

 We saved the shells for the garden, because as you know, they are a little like egg shells (Calcium Carbonate). Plus it can balance the PH in the soil. Now, make sure the shells are fully washed before you start using them as they might have  salt on them and that would be bad for your garden.

 Here add a few ways to use the shells

 Crushed - the shells can be crushed up and spread along the path in the garden. I hear it make for a beautiful landscape and that people on the easy coast do that. 

 Crushed and added to the garden in potted plants on on top of the soil. If you use it in the pots, the chips and pieces will create air pockets in the soil, and after a while it'll break down and add that calcium to the plants. If it's on top of the soil, the chips and pieces will help guard against slugs and snails.
