Save the ones you use for seeds, and pop into a local restaurant / coffee shop and ask them if they will supply you with theirs instead of chucking them into their refuse :)<br /><br />Win-win all round!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-11613295300878429512012-11-22T01:25:40.772+02:002012-11-22T01:25:40.772+02:00Just catching up and my goodness you've had an...Just catching up and my goodness you've had an exciting month, with all kinds of incidents and visitors - 2 legged and 4, a new look to the house - love those stairs - and gardening :D!

I'm feeding mine back to my chickens, but will have to think about maybe buying them some oyster shell next spring, just so I can keep the shells for seeds.
