What do you do with the shells after you remove the walnut kernels?
Are you just getting rid of this "garbage"? In vain!
It turns out that walnut shells are a great garden remedy.
So don't throw this mass in the trash! Especially if you have a country plot!
Collect the shells: they are not “waste” at all, but a means that can act in several “roles” at once.
Mulch
Walnut shells are a good mulching material.
By sprinkling the soil with this mass, the gardener will ensure that the soil will remain moist for a long time. In addition, the risk of weeds will decrease.
"Nut" mulch is an excellent option for areas where fruit trees and shrubs grow.
Fertilizer
The shells easily turn into ideal fertilizer for garden crops.
All you need to do is burn the hard outer layer of walnuts. The resulting ash is the fertilizer.
Drainage
Walnut shells can also be used as a drainage layer when planting fruit trees.
Decoration
You can also use the shells to decorate flower beds or garden paths.
The main thing is not to crush the hard shell. You need to use the shell halves.
