What is it?
Hortiwool is 100% pure British wool, nothing else, just wool. This means it's sustainable, low carbon, planet friendly and highly versatile in the garden.

How does it help?

Natural wool fibres are amazing, not only boasting awesome protection properties, they insulate, hold moisture and as they break down add vital nutrients to the soil.

Our Hortiwool wool pads harness the awesome power of wool. Wool fibres are naturally insulating, hold moisture, repel slugs and snails and break down in the soil adding carbon nutrients that benefit plants.

• Protection against slugs and snails
• Hanging basket liners

Sean says:
“The amount of plastic garden products I still see in garden centres alarms me. So, every time I get the opportunity to trial more sustainable options I do. Hortiwool has found a home in my heart for its versatility. From using it as a kneeling mat until I place it as mulch around my hostas, to keep them moist and the slugs at bay. This is a terrific product.”

Each Hortiwool Pad is 27cm x 66cm so every Pouch (containing five pads) can cover a surface area of roughly 0.9 square metres.

Obviously, it`s up to you how you use them and we know there are many other uses for our Hortiwool Pads.
