Get serious. Ted already has enough goofy advice. If the lawn is no
bigger than 3m square and he has 5 years to wait this is a good idea.


Grin, I do save up the shells to amend a small container but I'm not sure it
really does much. More of a science experiement for the fun of it. That
container is used for spinaches and such.
