About the wool pellets
These pellets are made here on our family farm, from nothing but 100% natural native British sheep wool. The wool is first heat sterilised and the compressed in to these powerful little wool pellets.
Slug Repellent
When used around the base of plants, they felt together to form a mat that deters slugs and snails. This is because the wool is made of tiny abrasive fibres that irritate the slug's foot.

Natural Slug Protection That Really Works
Protect your plants from slugs and snails naturally with our Wool Slug Pellets, made on our family farm from 100% British sheep wool.
When watered, the pellets expand and felt together to form a protective barrier around the base of your plants. This barrier is made up of thousands of tiny wool fibres that are naturally abrasive, helping to deter slugs and snails from reaching vulnerable stems and leaves.

More Than Just Slug Protection
Unlike traditional slug pellets, our wool pellets actively improve your soil while protecting your plants.
Retains Moisture Naturally
Wool can absorb up to 10 times its weight in water and slowly release it back into the soil as conditions become drier.
This helps reduce watering, improves drought resilience and creates a healthier growing environment for your plants.
Natural Slow-Release Fertiliser
As the wool breaks down, it releases valuable nutrients including nitrogen and potassium directly into the soil, helping to support strong roots, healthy foliage and vigorous growth.
Made From Pure British Sheep Wool
Every pellet is produced on our family farm using nothing but 100% natural British sheep wool.
The wool is heat sterilised and compressed into nutrient-rich pellets with absolutely nothing added.
No chemicals. No pesticides. No fillers.
Just pure sheep wool.
