Raw Wool (for Garden Use)
Did you know wool makes great use in the garden? Adding raw wool to your garden is a natural and organic way to:
Fertilize: Raw wool is an excellent source of slow-release Nitrogen and other nutrients/trace minerals
Mulch: Wool stops weeds and grass from sprouting, without the use of herbicides
Hold more water: Wool is super absorbent and can reduce how often you need to water
Deter pests: Wool naturally deters pests like slugs and aphids
This is NOT clean wool, nor is it very high quality wool (for knitting/crocheting). We raise sheep that are a mix of hair and wool breeds, which means that their wool is more coarse than pure wool breeds. We don’t clean the wool because we want that wonderful lanolin and nitrogen (and other trace nutrients from bits of manure) to stay in tact, for those using this wool in the garden. So, we wouldn’t recommend this wool for skirting, carding, and spinning for knitting/crocheting projects. We would recommend it for garden mulch, tree mulch, soil amendment, seeding trays, or home projects like stuffing pillows, insulation, etc.
We use ours as mulch around our fruit trees and we love it!
