I've been putting pistachio shells in my worm/compost bin with the

avocado stones, for example), they aren't big enough to be a nuisance
in the output.

But I've used cocoa shell mulch in the past, and I'm wondering whether
pistachio shells might also be useful as mulch. Any ideas?

Also, is the salt likely to be harmful?

I have used pistachio shells for mulch. They seem to be OK. They turn
black after a few days - I don't know why. The ones I get are unsalted
so I can't answer on if it's harmful.
