FAQ

If you store the pellets in a closed bag in a dry place, they can last for a couple of years. However, the pellets are made of organic material, which means that if they are stored incorrectly or over many years, the decomposition process will start without them being placed in the soil.

The pellets are intended to be used once per season. If you have plants with a high nitrogen requirement or if it rains a lot, you can advantageously add 1 more round.

The pellets have the smell of sheep, and some animals may find this interesting. The vast majority of people will think it's fun to smell, but leave the beds after planting as the smell dulls somewhat in the soil. In very few cases, the dog has dug in the bed as a result of the smell.

In the same way that dogs and cats find it interesting, deer and moose can avoid the smell, and you will get bushes that are kept in order so that you can enjoy the buds and berries yourself.

Pellets can work preventatively against slugs if used 'correctly'. Slugs dislike crawling over wool pellets, so they should be placed on top of the soil in the beds, or as a protective wool barrier around them. Wool pellets buried in the soil may not necessarily have the same effect.

The wool we use to make wool pellets is low-value wool as it is either too coarse, dirty or pigmented to be used in textile and yarn production. This is a resource which, instead of being used, is thrown away, buried or burnt up, and much of the value for the sheep farmer is lost. As of today, there are few other uses for this wool, but research is ongoing into how we can transform this resource into something of value for both consumers and farmers.

We are found in a couple of physical outlets in the country. If your local fertilizer dealer/plant shop/wool store doesn't have us yet, give them a heads up that this is a desired product!

3-in-1 Fertilizer: 100% organic fertiliser, soil conditioner and biostimulant.

Wool pellets are a long-acting fertilizer that provides stable and even nutrition, without the risk of over-fertilisation or dilution. In addition to adding nutrition, wool pellets help to improve the soil structure by absorbing moisture and fluffing up in the soil. Lanolin and keratin in the wool stimulate micro-life, which contributes to healthier soil health, better access to nutrients, strengthened immune defenses and increased plant growth.

The pellets smell of wool! However, the smell subsides as soon as you mix them in the soil. Feedback from existing customers indicates that they think the smell can be good, or have nothing against it.

In a few cases, there will still be some who find the smell strong. Then it is fortunate that wool pellets work just as well on outdoor plants as on indoor plants, where the smell also acts as a preventative against deer and moose.

Woolero is made from sheep's wool, which does not go through processes such as washing or mixing. The pellets contain no binders and can therefore contain small fine particles. Woolero is thus a purely natural product.

Wool pellets are ideal for use on potted plants. With such a long-acting fertilizer that is used when repotting annually, an intuitive amount of about a tablespoon (10g) is completely sufficient to provide a medium-sized houseplant with sufficient nutrition throughout the year and optimal growth. Be somewhat careful with plants that prefer an acidic soil environment.

The application is intuitive, and decomposition by soil bacteria will not result in a harmful overdose of nutrients. For plants that prefer an acidic soil environment (conifers, rhododendrons, marsh grass, etc.), you need to be a little careful when using it, as Woolero wool pellets are alkaline (80% of all useful and ornamental plants prefer an alkaline environment).
