It would be ridiculous for us to ask you to wear a scarf made out of potting soil — but believe us when we tell you that the same things that make wool great for sweaters and socks make it an amazingly effective material for growing plants and seeds. This stuff isn’t fluff!

Hortiwool utilizes the naturally-occurring properties of wool to create an ideal growing environment. It wicks moisture from its surroundings to feed roots, provides insulation for tender root systems so you can plant earlier in the season, and it is 100% biodegradable, breaking down naturally when planted in the soil, and becoming part of the plant’s total nutrition.

Extend your planting season by using Hortiwool as mulch on top of the soil or wrapping it around root balls before plants go in the ground. It’s also a great coir-alternative for lining hanging baskets. And growing micro-greens with Hortiwool is a cinch! Simply lay a section of Hortiwool in a shallow dish of water, spread your micro-green seeds and — that’s it! After you’ve harvested your itty-bitty bounty, you can flip the Hortiwool over and sprout a new batch using the other side. It even works as capillary matting for self-watering seed starter systems. From versatility to sustainability, discover the many reasons why growing with Hortiwool is a shear delight!

Note: Because it’s all-natural, the lanolin oil in Hortiwool may produce some “all-natural” smells after extended use. But don’t be sheepish — all Hortiwool products are washed and scoured to remove any contamination!
