Wool pellets are a natural gardening supplement that improves soil by retaining water, slowly releasing nutrients (nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus), and enhancing aeration. They can also help suppress weeds and deter some pests.
Key Application Methods:
- Soil Amendment: Mix into planting holes (1/4-1 cup per plant), garden beds (1-2 cups/sq ft), and container mixes (1 part pellets to 4-6 parts mix).
- Top Dressing/Mulch: Spread a 1/2-1 inch layer around plants for moisture retention and weed control.
- Seed Starting: Mix a small amount of crushed pellets into the mix for moisture.
Important Considerations: Be mindful of the high nitrogen content, the slow decomposition rate, and adjust application based on individual plant needs and observation. Water thoroughly after applying.
