Raw Wool Pellets

$20.00

100% pure sheep’s wool, pelletized for your garden. A sustainable alternative to peat moss and petroleum-based soil additives — wool holds 30% of its weight in water, slowly releases nitrogen as it breaks down, and biodegrades completely in 6–12 months. Even repels slugs.

Made on our small NC farm from the parts of the fleece that don’t make it into yarn — nothing wasted, everything used.

  • 100% sheep’s wool, no fillers

  • Slow-release nitrogen + potassium fertilizer

  • Holds water for dry spells

  • Loosens soil, improves root oxygenation

  • Biodegrades in 6–12 months

  • Repels slugs naturally

Why wool pellets work in your garden

  1. 100% sheep’s wool. Nothing else except the vegetable matter or a little poo that’s just added nutrient. 100% sustainable and renewable.

  2. Replaces non-sustainable peat moss and petroleum-based additives.

  3. Wool soaks up water and holds it for slow release into the plant. Great during dry spells.

  4. Wool is an organic fertilizer containing nitrogen and potassium. The pellets feed plants immediately and continue to slow-release.

  5. Wool expands in the soil — its fluffy nature provides porosity and better oxygenation for roots.

  6. Biodegrades completely in 6–12 months.

  7. Repels slugs.

Several years ago I was trying to find a use for the parts of our fleeces that wouldn’t sell — too much vegetable matter, or just bits and pieces. We’re a sustainable farm after all; throwing them out wasn’t an option!

Wool holds 30% of it’s weight in water, and I thought it might be a brilliant idea in the garden. Slow release moisture, and wool breaks down as Nitrogen in the soil. Brilliant! I was onto something. Dang! As we’d all agree you have to follow through with the idea!

I couldn’t for the life of me figure how to get this by-product to the consumer. I tried bags of dirty wool but that wasn’t going to get it. Besides, the delivery to the plant needed to be more manageable. Then, a wonderful company we work with had the great idea to pelletize the wool. So, here we are today, tickled to bring you this wonderful product made from our wool. This is so good for the planet on so many levels! Just one more product we ( sheep too) are excited to bring you!
