Collection: Wool for the Garden
Wool is an amazing addition to your garden, potted plants, and vegetable beds. Wool is an ‘active’ fibre; it is able to :
- regulate moisture, helping to retain moisture in sandy soil and assist with drainage in clay soil.
- Wool pellets gives soil microbes a food source that can increase microbial activity.
- Wool pellets help supress weed growth when applied thickly around plants.
- Wool pellets are a source of slow release nitrogen that lasts longer than other mulch materials.
- Wool absorbs liquids, releasing them slowly into the soil.
- Coarse wool provids significantly higher quantity of available nitrogen, phosphorus and potash for plants.
- Wool soaks up in the soil, it fluffs up and expands, increasing soil porosity and improving the soil's ability to retain oxygen
