How do I use wool pellets in my garden?

You can directly apply wool when planting seeds - space your seeds out in your row and then sprinkle the wool pellets alongside your seeds. Cover up seeds and wool with soil. 1kg of pellets can be applied to approximately 20-25 square feet of garden.

Pre mix for pots – mix 1/2 cup pellets with 4 litres of soil and add to your pots.

Plants that are already potted - sprinkle the wool pellets on the top of the plants and push them down. Or leave them on top for pest repellent (they will not break down as quickly on top of the soil).

How much garden will one bag of wool pellets cover?

1kg of pellets can be applied to approximately 20-25 square feet of garden.

How long will wool pellets last in my garden?

When pellets are mixed with the soil they will start breaking down within 3 months. When used as a mulch it will take closer to 12 months to start breaking down. The nutrients in the pellets will release gradually and can last up to a year.

Will there be any transfer of weed seeds from the sheep fleece?

Definitely NOT. The heat used during the process of pelleting will destroy any seeds in the wool.
