Seafood Shells

It's summer, and it's the season for eating crayfish and various seafood. It would be a waste if you just throw away the shells of the seafood after eating them. In fact, seafood shells are very good phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Using them on flowers can ensure that the flowers are large and colorful, and the branches are full of flowers.

Steps for growing flowers with seafood shells

When eating crayfish or other seafood, leave the head and skin on.

Step 2:

Put the seafood shells in a wok, stir-fry over low heat, slowly mash and crush them until the seafood shells are very crispy, then turn off the heat and cool.

Step 3:

Smash the cooled seafood shells with a hammer or place them on the road to be crushed by a car until they become powder. Then spread it out in the sun for 1-2 weeks.

Before planting flowers, spread a layer of soil at the bottom of the pot, sprinkle a layer of seafood shell powder, cover with another layer of soil, and then plant the flowers. You can also mix the seafood shell powder and soil directly together. Not only will it not burn the roots, it is also nutritious, loose and breathable, and easy to use!
