Sheep's Wool Potting Compost is an excellent eco-friendly peat-free garden compost that mixes bracken and sheep's wool to help retain water while releasing nutrients to feed flowers, fruit and vegetables throughout the growing season.
The idea originated from old gardening books that talked of wool's natural ability to hold water to itself, and provide long term nutrient release - wool is still famously used in the 'Rhubarb Triangle' of Yorkshire.

Product Reviews
The wool compost is a great product and it's great that it has fertiliser in it that will last for year. Lovely quality.
I have found this really good for hanging baskets. Other peat free composts do not retain water well and are difficult to reset once dry, but I have found this one really good - and it needs less fertiliser

Dalefoot composts are unlike any other, being made from composted bracken and wool, mixed with comfrey. The bracken provides potassium, the wool gives nitrogen and the comfrey has a good NPK balance. As a result, you won't need to feed your plants. The pelargoniums did well compared with plants that hadn't been fed, and were just as good as those we added feed to. We had a respectable harvest of healthy spuds, too.
