Produced in Yorkshire, our 100% natural sheep wool garden felt is one of our most popular gardening products and can definitely be crowned as our most versatile. It is pretty special (if we do say so ourselves!) as it is made with a thick, dense layer of wool and a layer of jute carrier material. Many other wool underlays use a plastic carrier material which isn’t as forgiving and when broken down can leave microplastics in the soil.
The unique combination of the sheep’s wool and the jute means that our garden felt is:
•The perfect mulch for you ‘no dig’ enthusiasts
•Dense– crucial for keeping those pesky weeds away and keeping plants protected!
•Textured and woolly which will deter slugs and snails
•Hygroscopic which means that it absorbs moisture but releases it slowly, so your plants won’t need watering as often (hooray!)
•Full of nitrogen, potassium and phosphate which naturally occurs in the wool and helps with strong, healthy plant growth
•An excellent growing medium – roots love burrowing their way into it
•100% biodegradable and compostable within about a year so completely and utterly environmentally friendly
The felt is 1.4m wide and is priced per linear metre. For example, if you placed an order of five, you would receive a piece of wool felt measuring 5m x 1.4m. Each roll is 15m long, so if you would like this much (or more!), get in touch with us.
