Organic Wool Fertiliser Made in Sneem, County Kerry

Feed your plants naturally with slow-release fertiliser made from 100% Irish sheep wool.

Our sheep wool pellets are a completely natural way to nourish soil and improve plant growth. Produced in Sneem using locally sourced wool, the pellets slowly release nutrients while improving soil structure, helping retain moisture, and naturally supporting healthier growing conditions.

About Our Fertiliser

A Natural Way to Feed Your Soil & Keep It Healthy

Sneem Organic Wools produces natural fertiliser pellets made from 100% sheep wool. This simple but powerful material delivers organically bound nutrients that release slowly as the wool breaks down in the soil.

 

Unlike chemical fertilisers that release nutrients quickly, wool pellets provide long-lasting nourishment over 6–8 months, with 50–70% of nitrogen released during the first cycle. The remaining nutrients continue to break down over time, creating a second release phase that improves soil fertility and ensures nutrients are not lost.

 

As the wool decomposes, it also improves soil structure, supports beneficial soil biology, and helps soil retain both nutrients and moisture.

ORGANIC FERTILISER BENEFITS

WHY CHOOSE WOOL PELLETS

100% Natural & Chemical Free

Made entirely from sheep wool, our pellets contain no synthetic fertilisers, pesticides, or additives.

Slow-Release Nutrients

Wool pellets release 50–70% of nitrogen over 6–8 months, with the remaining nutrients continuing to break down afterwards. This creates long-term soil fertility without nutrient loss.

Improves Soil Structure

As the wool decomposes, it improves aeration, encourages root growth, and builds healthier soil over time.

 

Retains Moisture

Wool pellets absorb water and release it slowly, helping soil stay hydrated and reducing the need for frequent watering.

Weed Suppression & Natural Mulching

When applied to flower beds and soil surfaces, wool pellets act like a natural mulch layer, helping to suppress weed growth while feeding the soil underneath.

Sustainable Farming

By using sheep wool that might otherwise go to waste, these pellets help create a circular agricultural product that benefits both the environment and local farming communities.

Why Choose Us

Simple, Natural Soil Nutrition

Mix Into the Soil

Simply mix the wool pellets into the soil when planting or gently work them into the top layer around existing plants.
This allows the pellets to begin breaking down in contact with moisture, gradually releasing nutrients directly where roots need them most.

Slug Repellent Properties

Wool fibres can act as a natural barrier, helping to deter slugs and protect plants without the need for chemicals. As the pellets expand slightly when wet, they create an environment that is less attractive for pests, offering a simple and eco-friendly layer of protection.

 

Slow-Release Wool Fertiliser

Sneem Organic Wool pellets are made from 100% natural sheep wool and provide a two-stage nutrient release system. The first phase delivers the majority of nitrogen over several months, while the remaining fibres continue to break down and release nutrients over time. This ensures that soil becomes healthier with each application, rather than losing nutrients. At the same time, the wool structure stores water and gradually releases it back into the soil, supporting consistent plant growth even during dry conditions.

 

Improves Soil Structure

Wool fibres help create better soil aeration while supporting beneficial soil life and stronger root systems. By improving airflow within the soil, roots can grow more freely and microorganisms can thrive, leading to healthier and more resilient plants.

Helps Retain Moisture

The natural structure of wool fibres allows them to absorb water and release it slowly, helping soil stay hydrated for longer. This reduces the need for frequent watering and provides plants with a more consistent moisture supply, especially during dry conditions.

Simple to Use in Any Garden

Suggested uses

Pots & Containers

Container plants often lose nutrients quickly through watering. Adding wool fertiliser pellets to potting soil provides a slow-release nutrient source that helps plants grow stronger for longer.

Vegetable Gardens

Wool fertiliser pellets are ideal for vegetable beds and kitchen gardens. They slowly release nitrogen and nutrients over time, supporting strong leafy growth and healthy harvests of tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, carrots, and other vegetables. 

Trees & Shrubs

Wool pellets are excellent for feeding fruit trees, ornamental trees, hedges, and shrubs. When mixed into soil around the root zone, they slowly break down and release nutrients while improving soil structure and supporting beneficial microorganisms.

Raised Beds & Flower Borders

lowers benefit from steady nutrition throughout the growing season. Wool fertiliser pellets provide slow, natural feeding that promotes healthy blooms while helping soil retain moisture.

Lawns and Grass Areas

Wool fertiliser pellets can be used to improve lawn health naturally. When worked lightly into the soil or applied during lawn repair and reseeding, the pellets slowly release nutrients that support strong root growth and greener grass.

Soil Improvement and Mulching

Wool pellets can be worked into soil to increase organic matter and improve soil structure. As they break down naturally, they enhance soil aeration, support microbial activity, and help soils retain both nutrients and water.
