What? Wool in the garden? YES!

Isn’t wool just for clothing? Wool does make excellent clothing, blankets and more, but a lot of wool isn’t good enough quality for textile use. So, what else can wool do? Wool is amazing for your garden soil and houseplants! 

Wool makes terrific mulch but mixing it into your soil is even better. Here are the benefits of wool:

Reduces watering: Wool holds 20x its weight in water, releasing it slowly into the soil.

  • Prevents overwatering: wool wicks away and holds excess water

  • Slow release fertilizer: NPK is 7-0-2

  • Feeds up to 6 months

  • Improves soil porosity and aeration

  • Slug repellant: lanolin in wool repels slugs

  • All natural fertilizer: wool pellets have 1 ingredient

  • Biodegrades completely in 6 months, replacing poly beads that take 7-9 years to break down

  • 100% sustainable, ethically sourced from small sheep farms

  • Removes a waste product and repurposes it for a better planet

  • Supports local farms and Wisconsin economy


Woollets are made here in Wisconsin from ethically sourced raw wool compressed into pellets. Woollets expand with water, reducing the need for petroleum based soil additives and peat. Woollets are the sustainable, organic, climate friendly choice for healthy soil and beautiful gardens.
