The Benefits of Using Wool.Life Sheep Dag Pellets

Feeds your soil naturally

Rich in organic nitrogen, potassium, and trace elements, sheep dags release nutrients slowly to feed soil life and strengthen plant growth over time.

Improves soil structure and aeration

The natural fibre content creates tiny air pockets that help roots breathe, improve drainage, and support healthy soil life.

Retains moisture and reduces watering needs

The wool fibres in each pellet absorb and hold moisture, helping soil stay damp for longer especially useful in dry or windy conditions.

Safe, sustainable and chemical-free

No synthetic additives, no harsh odours—just pure, 100% natural New Zealand sheep goodness for healthy soil and thriving plants.

Boosts microbial and worm activity

Healthy soils are alive and our pellets feed the microbes and worms that make your garden thrive. Expect better structure, richer topsoil, and long-term fertility.

Recycled, not wasted

Each bag transforms farm waste into rich organic matter, supporting New Zealand’s circular economy. Packed in recyclable kraft paper—no plastic, no fuss.

Using Sheep Dag Pellets with Wool Mulch Mats

1. Prepare the soil by sprinkling Sheep Dag Pellets around your plants or over the planting area.

2. Lightly water to activate the pellets and start nutrient release.

3. Lay your Wool Mulch Mat directly on top around seedlings, shrubs, or garden rows.

4. Secure the mat and water through as normal.

This combination locks in moisture, prevents weeds, and continuously feeds your plants as both the pellets and mulch mat break down naturally over time. Together, they create a self-sustaining soil ecosystem, healthier plants, less watering, and zero plastic waste.
