Sheep wool is able to absorb about three times its own weight in water. Once soaked, it literally swells and stores the accumulated moisture over a long period of time, thus releasing it back to its surroundings only slowly, but continuously. In times of increasing drought, sheep's wool has therefore become an important auxiliary material in our gardens, as it increases the water storage capacity of the soil. And not only that, because in the course of its decomposition valuable nutrients are also released, which strengthen plant growth and roots. In the practical pellet form, the sheep's wool fertilizer is especially recommended for the thirsty plants in your vegetable beds: for tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, squash & Co. Simply sprinkle loosely around the plants, rake lightly under, done. And of course: do not forget the first watering!
