Using sheep wool in the garden might sound like a strange idea at first, but it's a versatile material with tons of benefits for your plants. These include improving soil's moisture retention, as well as keeping weeds and certain pests at bay – which, for you, can mean less time spent on maintenance.
Wool is also great for a more eco-friendly garden. As Amy Enfield, senior horticulturist at ScottsMiracle-Gro, highlights, it’s a renewable resource, all-natural, and biodegradable. 'It can be used right off the sheep or processed into other forms, like pellets,' she adds.
