Where do I use wool pellets?

Pellets can be used anywhere peat moss is used in standard gardening practice. Wool pellets can be used in additional ways too. Here's some examples of ways to use wool pellets.

• sprinkle on top of your houseplants as a slow-release fertilizer
• place at the bottom of pots to help retain water
• mix into potting soil before planting seedlings
• distribute thickly around plants to act as a slug barrier
• spread thinly on your lawn as an eco-friendly fertilizer
• mix in with seeds when broadcasting

How much do I need to use?

Less is more when using wool pellets. Each 1 kg bag will cover approximately 25 square feet or a 5x5 foot space when spread evenly over the soil and then dug in. To use in a potting mix add a 1/2 cup of pellets to 4 cups of potting soil. A light sprinkling of pellets (4-8 pellets/plant) can be added to the bottom of a row in the garden.

Where do you get the wool you use?

We use our own waste wool in addition to purchasing wool from other farmers across Ontario.
