At Wool.Life, we believe New Zealand’s most powerful growing tools are already on the land, we just need to use them wisely. Our latest product, Wool.Life Sheep Dag Pellets, takes what was once a waste material and transforms it into a natural, slow-release nutrient source that feeds your soil, strengthens your plants, and supports a closed-loop farming future.
What Are Sheep Dag Pellets?
Made right here in Aotearoa, Wool.Life Sheep Dag Pellets are compressed, fully natural garden pellets crafted from sheep dags and wool waste. They’re rich in organic matter, nitrogen, and trace minerals that plants love and they release nutrients slowly, improving soil structure, water retention, and microbial life.
Unlike synthetic fertilisers, which can leach away quickly or burn plant roots, dag pellets work with your soil not against it. As they break down, they enrich your soil biology, feed worms, and encourage deep, healthy root systems.
Why Choose Wool.Life Dag Pellets?
- 100% NZ Made & Natural – produced from local wool industry by-products.
- Circular by Design – we upcycle waste into a high-value garden input.
- Slow-Release Nutrition – feeds your plants for months, not days.
- Improves Soil Health – boosts organic matter and water retention.
- Sustainable Storytelling – every handful tells the story of NZ wool.
How to Use Them
Simply sprinkle the pellets around the base of your plants, mix through your compost, or blend into your soil before planting. They’re ideal for vegetable gardens, flower beds, trees, pots, and raised beds.
For best results, water in well after application to activate the nutrient release process.
Wool.Life’s Growing Philosophy
Every Wool.Life gardening product connects New Zealand wool, the soil, and our customers. Our mulch matting and now our sheep dag pellets are part of the same mission, helping Kiwis grow better while reducing waste to landfill.
