Date: January 04, 2011 06:51PM Is there any use for them? They don't compost well but it's not a thing I want to stick in the land fill. Got any ideas creative people? Thanks!  Re: What to do with nut shells?

Date: January 05, 2011 10:50PM It's such a lot of shells, they overwhelm the compost bin. And the rubbish collectors here are not fond of unbagged trash. They seem to make a point of spreading it up and down the alley way whenever given the opportunity. A hasty bunch but who can blame them, it's rather a smelly job. Re: What to do with nut shells?

Date: January 06, 2011 01:40PM Ha ha! We're in the city now but not far from the county. Might save them up then and take them out to the cottage in the summer. Won't the kids think that's fun... Re: What to do with nut shells?

Date: January 10, 2011 01:32AM Oh, how I wish you lived next door to me. I'd take those shells off your hands! I save my nut shells and put them through my old vitamix blender till they are well powdered, then put them in the garden. They help with drainage and since the pieces are so tiny they eventually break down into humus. Hot damn, I'd kill for your nutshells. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
