FERTILISER
G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets is the ultimate natural slow-release fertiliser perfect for any substrate! Our wool pellets work wonders for veggies, flowers, pot plants, and even large-scale horticulture. G.R.O.W. is an acronym for Great Raw Organic Wool. That’s right; our wool pellets mainly comprise 100% organic raw wool.

RETAIN WATER
G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets holds up to 4 times its weight in water! The wool pellets act as a sponge absorbing water and locking it in for plants to use when needed.
IMPROVE SOIL AERATION
G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets swell, increasing soil porosity, making it easier for water, air and nutrients to pass through the soil for optimal root growth.
FROM THE FARM, BACK TO EARTH
G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets is a slow-release organic fertiliser working hard to enrich your soil for six to eight months before
finally breaking down. Our wool pellets upcycle low-grade wool to a natural fertiliser, returning nutrients back to the earth.

MORE AWESOME BENEFITS
POT A PLANT IN A BAG
Did you know that we produce the unique G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets packaging from the same rigid material used to bale wool on sheep farms?
These wool bales are sold at auctions and shipped all around the world. We bring the empty bale bags back to South Africa, where they are washed and upcycled as the ideal packaging for your wool fertiliser. Once you’ve used the wool pellets in your garden, you can repurpose your 2L G.R.O.W. fertiliser bag as a unique container for your favourite indoor or outdoor plant.
Join our eco-friendly revolution, and let’s make plants-in-wool-pellet-bags the next big thing.
PRO TIP: avoid potential water stains under your bagged plants, by using a suitable waterproof liner to protect the surfaces below.
SNAIL & SLUG BARRIER
Snails and slugs hate wool! We obviously can’t ask them why, but we suspect that the microscopic barbs in wool fibres irritate these not-so-welcome slimy garden dwellers. When applied around the base of any plant, G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets form a barrier that slugs and snails won’t cross. We’re just helping them reconsider their intentions to visit your plants without hurting the little menaces as conventional snail baits do. Tell your neighbour about G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets, and if they tell their neighbours in turn – who knows, soon your neighbourhood might be totally snail free. Watch this video – seeing is believing!

How should I determine the amount of G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets to use when potting plants?

How should I store my unused G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets?
Storing G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets is relatively straightforward. Since sheep wool is the primary ingredient, these pellets are resilient enough to endure various weather conditions without needing specific storage requirements like chemical fertilisers. However, remember that wool pellets are hygroscopic, meaning they can attract and retain water, potentially making them heavier to manage. To ensure the best storage, it’s recommended to keep your G.R.O.W. Wool Pellets in their original packaging and place them in a covered area. This will help maintain their quality over time.
