Royal Mail's maximum delivery weight is 30kg - this means we can only send a maximum of 2 large bags in one order. 

 

Recycled crushed, washed and dried whelk shells.

This is ideal for the indoor plant pot and terrarium top dressing. Great for cacti, succulents and most houseplants. Alternatively, you can mix the shells into soil or compost to increase drainage. 


About Shell on Earth
They're 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. They are proud to not only reduce our waste output from the factory but also to help support a circular economy by utilising 100% of the whelks they process.

This is a natural product from the sea and Shell on Earth does its best to remove any foreign material. All the packaging is recyclable. The white filler is made from vegetable starch and is compostable.

Really impressed with this if this don’t deter the snails and slugs I don’t know what will but it’s sharp enough and more rigid than normal egg shells so I’m hoping for the best.

Letter from the founder - September 2024 - Sprouts of Bristol
This month we have been busier than expected, which is obviously amazing. We have worked with some amazing businesses, including a very nice doughnut cafe thats opened on College Green that you need to check out. We have welcomed Jazz to the team, she's already settling in amazingly. And we look forward to the end of the year for that ever so special quarter that is very very important to retailers like us up and down the country.

Letter from the founder - August 2024 - Sprouts of Bristol
We have launched our first (hopefully monthly) ‘Letter from the Founder’ blog post. I talk about a string of bad luck, from water gushing from various ceilings in my life to a break-in, and also reflect on the incredible work we have done to win two awards earlier this year. I look ahead to what’s coming up in August, projects we are working on with our clients, and some thoughts about the rest of the year. And I give an insight into my brain, why I am who I am and why I’m so thankful for all the opportunities, passion and excitement that running Sprouts has given me as a founder and as a woman.
