Thank you for this video. To use the wool both as mulch on top and fertilizer/water-Tank in the ground is a good idea. I will try it as well. How was it with slugs?
Definitely give it a try and see how it works for you. I don't think it works against slugs though, it may repel them at the beginning, but later on, when the wool gets washed by rain for a couple of times, it loses the effectiveness, and the slugs may even find shelter in/below it.
That's a great idea! And I agree with you. The wool acts as a warm layer of protection against the cold, and because it is black, it also warms up faster during sunny days.
Hi there. It depends on how established the plants are. If the plants are still small or have just been transplanted, then you still have to water at least twice per week during dry spells. If the plants are bigger and more established, and you have sheep wool in the ground as well as on the ground (as a mulch), then once per week is more than enough during dry spells. Hope this helps, good luck
I can't wait to start experimenting with wool in the garden!
You're going to like it :)

How did it turn out?
It went very well. We got plenty of harvest!
@@gardeningnoob can you take some new updated pics. thanks. wondering about rate of decomposition...
@@davidfrette2500 sure I can. I'll let you know when it's online.
@@denisklicic thanks! The family business is dog grooming so we have access to buckets of hair and fur daily.
I use black wool ¹as a winter mulch for asparagus, I am convinced my asparagus comes up earlier due to increased soil temp
