Wool Mulch?

Today on the farm, I worked on something new. Our sheep are a huge part of the farm ecosystem, and now they have one more role. We’ve decided to mulch some of our gardens with unused fleece. They should deter weeds and provide organic matter for the plants as they slowly break down. We have started in one of our perennial beds that houses rhubarb, strawberries, asparagus and a few herbs. We plan on mulching in the vegetable garden once we rototill and have plants growing. Follow along to see how the wool works! Hopefully it will be one more way to use our wonderful Texel sheep to provide for our farm.
