Wiggly Woolch – Why Sheep’s Wool Mulch is a Brilliant Autumn Garden Trick

Wiggly Woolch: The Ultimate Autumn Mulch

Autumn is prime time to boost your garden soil – and Wiggly Woolch is one of the most effective, eco-friendly ways to do it. Straight from our sheep and our neighbours’ flocks in Herefordshire, it’s natural, local, and packed with benefits.

Benefits of Sheep’s Wool Mulch

  • Moisture retention: Wool holds up to 40% of its weight in water.

  • Weed suppression: Creates a natural barrier without chemicals.

  • Nutrient boost: Wool releases nitrogen slowly as it breaks down.

  • Slug deterrent: Scratchy fibres deter unwanted nibblers.

A Word on Daggings

We don’t hide it – our Woolch comes raw. That means daggings (bits from a sheep’s rear end). They’re nutrient-rich too, but not for the faint-hearted. If you want polished, shrink-wrapped pellets, this isn’t it. If you want the real deal, straight from sheep to soil, you’re in the right place.
