Crab Shell (2.5-3-.5) Ca 23
A good fertilizer and substitute for bonemeal, due to it's high concentration of calcium. Crab shell is also high in chitin, which promotes the growth of chitin eating bacteria. The exoskeletons of fungus and nematodes eggs, as well as the jaw structures of some garden pests like the japanese beetle grub are high in chitin. Crab shell, when added to the soil, helps create a hostile environment for the fungus and nematodes by feeding the biological life that eats the chitin based organisms. It is not classified as a fungicide or a nematocide. Used as an additive in poultry feeds. Has been known to improve shell integrity due to it's concentration of calcium.
