Why Summer Gardening Starts Below the Surface
But this biological boom can only happen when the soil has something to feed on. That’s where Wool.Life Sheep Dag Pellets play a crucial role.
The Science Behind Dag Pellets
Sheep dags are naturally rich in nitrogen, carbon, minerals, and organic matter. When cleaned, processed, and pelletised, they become a powerful slow-release soil food. Unlike synthetic fertilisers that dump nutrients all at once, dag pellets break down slowly, feeding microbes and improving structure over time.
Why Late Spring Is the Perfect Time to Apply Them
- Soil temperatures are warm but not scorching
- Plants are entering their biggest growth phase
- Moisture levels are still manageable
- Microbial activity is rising fast
By applying dag pellets now, you support:
- Stronger root growth
- Better water retention
- Healthier microbial ecosystems
- More nutrient-rich soil heading into the hot season
Pairing With Wool Mulch Matting
Dag pellets feed the soil from beneath, wool mulch protects it from above, the perfect summer garden partnership.
