Sneem Organic Wool Fertiliser Pellets are easy to use and work naturally with your soil. Made from 100% Irish sheep wool, the pellets slowly release nutrients while improving soil structure and helping retain moisture.
As the wool breaks down in the soil, it provides a steady supply of nitrogen and organic matter that supports healthy plant growth for months.
Because they release nutrients slowly, wool fertiliser pellets are perfect for vegetable gardens, flower beds, containers, trees, and lawns.
Wool fertiliser pellets work differently from fast-acting synthetic fertilisers.
Instead of releasing nutrients immediately, the wool fibres slowly break down in the soil. This process provides a long-lasting supply of nitrogen, improves soil health, and encourages beneficial microbial activity.
Wool fibres also act like a sponge in the soil, helping retain water and improving soil structure.
Below are general guidelines for using wool fertiliser pellets in different areas of the garden.
Mix pellets into the soil before planting.
Recommended rate:
100–150g per square metre
This provides a slow release of nutrients that supports leafy growth and healthy crops throughout the season.
Add pellets to potting mix before planting.
Recommended rate:
1–2 tablespoons per litre of soil
Mix evenly through the compost to provide long-lasting nutrition for container plants.
Apply pellets around the root zone and lightly mix into the soil.
Recommended rate:
50–200g depending on plant size
Water after application to activate the pellets.
Mix pellets into the top layer of soil before planting flowers.
Recommended rate:
80–120g per square metre
This provides steady feeding throughout the growing season.
Raised beds benefit greatly from wool fertiliser because it helps retain moisture.
Recommended rate:
100–150g per square metre
Mix pellets evenly into the soil before planting.
For lawn establishment or repair, mix pellets lightly into the soil.
Recommended rate:
80–100g per square metre
Water after application.
Wool fertiliser pellets can be applied throughout the growing season.
Spring
Prepare garden beds and provide nutrients for early growth.
Planting Time
Mix pellets into soil when planting vegetables, flowers, or shrubs.
Mid Season
Add pellets to support continued plant growth.
Because wool fertiliser releases nutrients slowly, one application can feed plants for several months.
• Mix pellets into soil rather than leaving them on the surface
• Water after application to activate the pellets
• Use when planting for best results
• Combine with compost for even healthier soil
Sneem Organic Wool Fertiliser Pellets are made from locally sourced Irish wool and support a circular approach to agriculture.
