## 7 Surprising Uses For Pistachio Shells In The Home & Garden
Pistachios are a delicious snack, but what do you usually do with the shells? Most people toss them in the trash without a second thought. However, these humble shells are surprisingly versatile and can be repurposed in creative and practical ways around your home and garden. Instead of letting pistachio shells go to waste, here are seven unexpected ideas to give them a new lease on life!
### 1. **Natural Mulch for Your Garden**
Pistachio shells make excellent mulch! Spread them around the base of your plants to help retain moisture in the soil, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds. Their hard texture also deters some pests from invading your garden beds.
### 2. **Drainage Booster for Plant Pots**
Layer pistachio shells at the bottom of indoor plant pots to improve drainage. This helps prevent waterlogging and root rot by allowing excess water to flow away freely, promoting healthier plant growth.

Dry pistachio shells are flammable and can be used as natural fire starters for your fireplace, wood stove, or campfire. Simply gather a handful, add some kindling, and watch them help get your fire going quickly and cleanly.
