Gee, Twitbetold. For someone from New Jersey you ask a lot of stupid
questions.

There is no problem using walnut shells as mulch providing you do a thorough
job of pulverizing them!!! So get yourself a hammer and smash the crap out
of them. Its good stress relieving therapy for the holiday season too.

Hi --
Years ago it was believed that crushed walnut shells poison the soil
for
garden plants. Is this still the prevailing wisdom?
Have an abundance of shells from a gift box of walnuts received from
CA.
Seems wrong to just toss in the garbage. Always thought what came from
the
ground should be returned to the ground, but I don't want to hinder the
growth
of my garden plants.
