Wool based compost

Wool based compost is being sold by a UK farmer in The Lakes.

The unique properties of sheep’s wool make it ideal for compost.  Sheep’s wool compost:

  • retains moisture
  • acts as a slow release fertiliser
  • provides nitrogen
  • is 100% natural
  • sustainable
  • has low carbon footprint

Lakeland gold is a sheep’s wool compost made on a small hill farm in the Lake District.

Wool based compost is ideal for use in hanging baskets and containers as it retains moisture and slowly releases the fertiliser.
