Give your raised beds and fruiting plants the slow-release marine calcium they crave. Made from 100% upcycled Maine oyster shells, our crushed shell provides a steady, natural source of calcium to build healthier soil and stronger plants all season long.

How It Helps Your Garden:

  • Tomato & Pepper Vitality: Provides the essential calcium fruiting plants need to thrive and helps prevent Blossom End Rot.

  • Balances Acidic Soil: Naturally "sweetens" pine-heavy New England dirt, helping roots easily absorb vital nutrients.

  • Dual-Action Texture: Contains fine shell powder for fast-acting calcium absorption, mixed with crushed flakes for long-term, slow-release soil conditioning.

  • Slugs & Snails: Crushed shells scrape up the bottoms of slugs, snails, and other terrestrial gastropods, so placing a ring of it around your garden will naturally keep them out.


How to Use It:

  • New Seedlings: Mix a palm-sized handful (3-5 oz.) directly into the bottom of the hole before planting so roots can touch it immediately.

  • Top-Dressing Established Beds: Broadcast approximately 1 pound per 20 square feet. Lightly scratch it into the topsoil around the base of your veggies and water thoroughly.


Which Size Do I Need?

  • 1 lb - Starter Pouch: Perfect for container gardens, patio planters, or mixing directly into the planting holes of 3 to 4 tomato plants.

  • 5 lb - Raised Bed Pack (Most Popular): The recommended amount to prep one standard 4x8 raised garden bed for the entire season. Ex: If you have three raised beds, grab three of these bags.

  • 20 lb Homestead Sack: Built for serious gardeners with a fleet of raised beds, or larger backyard plots that need broad soil sweetening.
