WoolGrown FAQ
Are WoolGrown wool pellets safe for edible gardens?
Yes! The wool pellets are made from natural sheep wool with no synthetic chemicals or additives. As always, follow good garden hygiene and wash your produce before eating.
How long do wool pellets last in the soil?
It depends on your soil biology, moisture, and temperature. In most gardens, pellets break down over a growing season. Felted and loose wools will persist into the following year(s), especially in drier or cooler conditions. Whatever remains can stay in the soil as it continues to contribute as it decomposes.
Can I use wool pellets in combination with other fertilizers?
Absolutely. Wool pellets release nutrients slowly, so they complement rather than replace a balanced feeding program. You can use them alongside compost, granular fertilizers, or liquid feeds without any conflict.
Do wool pellets work in raised beds or containers?
Yes, the application method is the same; spread or mix, water to activate, and let them work. Raised beds benefit from the moisture retention just as containers do, especially in warm dry climates when beds can dry out quickly.
Where is WoolGrown wool sourced?
WoolGrown uses local 100% Canadian wool. The company is based in Ontario and processes the wool into pellets and felt products locally. Supporting WoolGrown means supporting Canadian wool producers and keeping the supply chain close to home.
