Biodegradable Wool Mulch Roll 600g - 0.4 x 2m (1 x 7ft)

This wool fibre mulching roll is a 100% natural product that provides effective and natural protection for young trees and bushes against cold in winter, slows down the evaporation of water in summer, and limits the growth of weeds that compete with roots and hinders growth. It is 100% biodegradable, and will decompose into humus in about four years. It is placed at the base of plants, both in open ground and in pots.

This non-woven wool mulch is made from short fibres of sheep wool. It contains no harmful substances as the wool is untreated, and it will easily disintegrate and be "digested" by the decomposing organisms in the soil (bacteria, fungi, insects, yeasts) that transform it into humus rich in organic matter and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, trace elements). This addition of organic matter improves the physical structure of the soil and promotes its biological activity. Wool can retain 30% of its weight in water without being wet, which slows down the evaporation of water in the soil and retains the humidity of the air, allowing the soil to retain moisture and reduce the need for watering. Wool is an excellent insulating fibre, protecting the soil from wind and temperature variations. Through its shading power, the mulch felt inhibits the germination of unwanted plants and hinders their growth. Finally, when used on flat or sloping terrain, mulching helps stabilise the soil and thus limits erosion caused by rain and wind.

Wool mulch can be used in open ground and in pots, in ornamental gardens, orchards, and vegetable gardens.
