Thanks for this video! I just bought a small package of wool pellets from Skagit Woolen Works, a nearby producer, and am really eager to try them in our vegetable garden. I'm hoping they will not only act as a fine fertilizer, but will deter the army of slugs that like to eat almost everything we plant!
This is really interesting. It makes me think of my cousins' alpaca farm where they compost the animal waste and sell it as fertilizer. They also take the seconds from shearing and put them in netting bags or wrap it in twine. They call them "birdie balls". You hang them outside. The netting has large holes so birds can pull the fiber out and use it in their nests. The fiber is also used by burrowing animals in their dens to help them stay warm in the winter.
Avid gardener here and I *LOVE* this idea!

Fingers crossed these will do the trick and keep those slugs at bay!
