The wool is sheared from the sheep, then shredded and pelleted to provide a slow release fertilizer for gardens and greenhouses, horticulture and indoor plants. Wool pellets are a natural slow release fertilizer rich in nitrogen and take months to break down fully. This makes wool pellets the perfect long term fertilizer. Wool pellets have a of 9-1-2 NPK ratio, plus they contain calcium, magnesium
, iron, sulfur, and other micro nutrients important for a healthy soil. Wool pellets are able to hold up to 4 times their weight in water and help to reduce watering frequency up to 25%. By holding water, they also protect plants from overwatering. Wool pellets provide aeration, as they soak in water they help to create a healthy soil climate and root structure and loosen dense and sandy soil significantly. Wool pellets keep soil and seeds warm helpful for an early start in the garden year. Wool pellets are all-natural, chemical free, organic, sustainable and renewable. Using our wool pellets supports small local sheep farmers and helps to prevent the depopulation of the Extremadura.
