You need a bigger garden!
What are you going to do with all that?
Historically ground into kitchen match size pieces and used for chicken feed.

I use crushed oyster shells on the beds primarily for birds as they use the smaller bits in their crops. Anything left over becomes part of the bed soil for long-term calcium release.
