First, you need to remove the green outer layer. Don’t wear your favorite jeans. They will be ruined. Wear gloves, or you’ll have brown fingers for a week. You can stomp on the walnuts with boots, or drive over them carefully with your car.
Another fun trick? Toss them into a five-gallon bucket with a power drill and a paint mixer. It’s like a nut washing machine from hell. The smell is a mix of citrus and gasoline. It’s weirdly nice, but also screams “I’m a hazard.”
