How It Works

Oyster shell flour is a natural source of calcium carbonate, a key mineral that raises soil pH in acidic conditions and strengthens plant cell walls. The slow-release nature of the coarse and fine particles means nutrients stay available over time, helping plants absorb fertilizers more efficiently and grow healthier, more resilient roots.

Great For:

  • Organic vegetable gardens
  • Fruit trees, berry bushes, and vineyards
  • Flower beds and landscaping
  • Compost and soil mix improvements
  • Bocce ball court base material

Support Sustainable Soil Health

Using natural soil amendments like oyster shell flour reduces dependence on synthetic chemicals, supports microbial life, and improves long-term soil fertility — making it an essential tool for regenerative and organic growers.

    Bocce ball court topper

    Great product for Bocce ball court. Best price at only place I could find it in 50 # bags in NorCal. Worth the drive from Sacramento. Friendly service and in and out quickly as they load your truck for you.

    never disappointed in the service, price or product

    I've been buying oyster shell flour from grow Organic for several years. I've never been disappointed in the service, price or product. Generally, I buy 600-700 pounds each spring and use it to renew the surface of my bocce court. Grow Organic staff are knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and always ready to help load the 50 lbs. bags into my vehicle. The flour is first quality. Never a problem.

    Although I received the product ordered awhile ago, I have not yet used it. So, I cannot comment on the product. However, the employee I spoke with was FANTASTIC. Rosie helped me get exactly what I needed and how I needed to get it. She was knowledgeable, courteous, and a pleasure to deal with. I would use you guys again just because of Rosie.
