Unwashed or waste sheep's wool (low grades, shearing leftovers).

Characteristics

  • Made mostly of keratin, a protein rich in nitrogen and sulphur.
  • Greasy wool also contains lanolin (wool fat).
  • It breaks down slowly in soil, over several months.

Role in the preparation: It is used chopped as a mulch or as a slow-release nitrogen-rich material.

Caution: Use wool free of dyes and sheep-dip products; in the EU raw wool is a category 3 animal by-product.
