Why use wool pellets?

These pellets have a variety of benefits for your garden

Retain Moisture in your soil

These little pellets can hold up to 10 x their weight in water and release it slowly when conditions turn drier. This reduces the frequency you need to water your plants. As part of this process they create little pockets of air in your soil, which helps root growth.

Slow release fertiliser

These wool pellets slowly release Nitrogen and Potassium in to your soil to encourage healthy growth.
