Company details
Written by the company
We're a small, family-run business based in West Wales, recycling whelk shells from our family's seafood processing factory rather than sending them to landfill. We crush, clean and dry the shells into a sustainable, decorative product ideal for use in the garden and beyond. The shells are available in various bag sizes from 1Kg to 800Kg bulk bags. Great for; Mulching garden beds. Useful for drainage in plant pots. Perfect as a decorative top layer in containers or pathways. Loved by gardeners for being natural, long-lasting, and slug-deterring.

Beautiful and sustainable. The perfect sustainable agrigate.
Incredible product 5 ⭐️. Not only is it sustainable but also divine in the garden especially when the light catches it. It sparkles. I absolutely love to use it from pot topping, to agrigate for paths its the perfect option. Customer service and response time is impeccable.

Unprompted review
Innovative AND trendy- What's not to love?
My indoor plants have never looked so sexy!
What a great way to reuse a by-product.
I ordered a large bag of shells and a few other home bits. They all arrived perfectly packaged.
I'll be back for Christmas gifts. I've told all of my allotment friends about the shells, too. I'm planning to use it on my allotment next year and I'm working on landscaping a nice patch of the garden with spring bulbs covered with a layer of shells.
Thank you Shell on Earth..
Keep up the great work!

Not the experience I’d hoped for…
DPD delivery was late and box looked like it had been used for rugby practice.
One item slightly damaged, for which they gave me a small credit.
Feedback to company regarding the packing and delivery was met with, here are all the reasons our packer is great and we must use DPD.
This could have been informative for them, but they weren’t able to take the feedback in the spirit it was intended: here’s my customer experience, I thought you’d like to know.
I shan’t be ordering from them again, which is a shame, because they have a lot of things I’d like to buy!

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. In the interest of transparency for current and future customers, I’d like to share a little context from our correspondence so people can make an informed judgement.
When you first contacted us, you mentioned that while the outer boxes were damaged in transit, the glass vessels were undamaged “Miraculously, neither seems to be broken.” You also noted a small fault with one of the cork lids, for which we offered - and processed - a 25% refund for the faulty item after you kindly agreed to keep the item. Had you wished to return or replace the item, we would have been very happy to help arrange this.
Please rest assured that we take great care with our packaging, and every order is hand-packed by our small team. If the parcels had been as severely damaged as described, it’s unlikely that both glass terrariums would have arrived completely intact - though of course we understand how frustrating any damage to packaging can be.
We’re always open to constructive feedback and continuously look for ways to improve, but we do feel this review doesn’t fully reflect the situation or the steps we took to resolve it quickly and fairly.
Hopefully, anyone reading this will take a balanced view and see this in the context of our many positive reviews and excellent overall feedback from customers.
Thank you again for your order. I'm sorry things did not meet your expectations on this occasion.
Warm regards,
Caryl
