@blossomandbranchfarm: Sheep wool serves as an excellent garden amendment and seed starting material due to its moisture-retaining properties, providing a consistent and slow release of nutrients. Its natural insulation helps regulate soil temperature, promoting optimal conditions for seed germination. Additionally, sheep wool is biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and acts as a deterrent for pests, creating a sustainable and effective choice for gardeners—this is especially great when using pellets, which are made using wool “seconds,” the bits that otherwise would be wasted! We just ran a big experiment with soil mixes using wool pellets from @wildvalleyfarms and it was pretty cool—the video is on our YouTube and linked in stories today! You can also use wool pellets as a fertilizer or use wool as a garden mulch for moisture retaining benefits and slow nitrogen release! Drop me a 🐑 if you’d try sheep wool in the garden! And tag a friend who needs to get some sheep with you 😂 #sheep #microfarm #backyardfarm #regenerative #gardening #wool #seedstarting
