How to use Woollets:

Today’s gardeners are looking for ways to produce beautiful plants and healthy food while reducing their carbon footprint. Woollets ™ are the answer! 

Wool pellets are an amazing all-natural soil amendment and slow-release fertilizer meant to replace peat moss and petroleum-based hydrogels in your soil mix.

Woollets wool pellets are made from 100% renewable wool. Woollets hold 30X their weight in water, slowly releasing it into your soil along with naturally occurring fertilizers and micronutrients. They break down over the course of a year aerating your soil as they decompose and become one with the earth.

Easy to use:

1 pellet for every inch of pot diameter. If you have a 3” pot, place 3 pellets around the perimeter, push them down into the root zone and cover with your growing medium. A 4” pot would use 4 pellets, and so on. Water as needed, and your plant is now fed for 6 months to a year. IF your pot diameter is over 10”, double the number of pellets due to the volume of soil. If planting an entirely new pot, use up to a 1/2 c. Woollets with 1 gallon of soil. See the guide to the right. For vegetables, plant your seeds with 1 pellet to help with germination. When planting “starts”, use 1 TBS per plant unless it’s a heavy feeder. In the case of heavy feeders (broccoli, cabbage, corn, cucumbers, squash, leafy greens and tomatoes) use 2 TBS. Our trick with tomatoes is to place a TBS in the first hole with the roots, then lay the plant sideways and place another TBS along the stem. Cover the stem up. This will create a stronger, healthier root system. Pellets and Shreds can be added when planting any outdoor vegetables and/or flower gardens. Mulching fleece can be added on top.

Why use Woollets? Click below to find out.

  • Wool pellets hold up to 30 x their weight in water and prevent overwatering as wool wicks away and holds excess water.

  • Wool pellets have a fertilizer value of 9-0-2 NPK and in addition contain calcium, magnesium, iron, sulfur and other micronutrients. The high nitrogen content boosts plant growth.

  • As the woollets break apart in the soil over time, they leave space for water, nutrients and roots growth, reducing the compaction of the soil.

  • Repel slugs and snails by sprinkling a protective ring around sensitive plants. Slugs and snail do not like the barbed fibers in the wool.

  • Peat is one of our Earth's largest carbon sinks. It grows 1/16" per year and is unsustainable. Make the switch from peat to wool and do something good for your planet.

  • Lanolin, the sticky substance which sheep produce, is an aroma which rabbits and deer do not enjoy. In fact, it repels them.
