If you put crushed shells around your hostas or any plant that snails love or cut worm. They will avoid the shells because it cuts them.
Birds like crushed oyster shells great source of calcium and grit they need to help digest.
carefully grind them or smash them up to use with potting soil as a fertilzer.
We throw them in our gravel driveway and crunch them up with the car. They add a white strip which makes backing up our little hill much easier.
I know chicken farmers always have ground oyster shells available for the birds to eat to aid in their digestion.
You can add shells to a garden pot project. I make hypertufa pots and shells can be applied while the material is still wet to add a bit of decoration.

I make wind chimes out of them.They sound really good!
when crushed, they are great for chickens to injest. it helps provide grit for their gizzard, and helps for egg formation.
