Most people throw away pistachio shells without knowing how valuable they are…

1. A Natural Mulch for Your Garden

Pistachio shells break down slowly, making them an excellent mulch for flower beds, potted plants, and garden paths.

When spread around plants, they can help:

• Reduce moisture loss from the soil
• Suppress weed growth
• Improve the appearance of garden beds
• Protect soil from erosion

If the shells are salted, rinse them thoroughly before using them in the garden.
