Sheep's wool Raw wool Organic long-term fertilizer

Sheep wool unwashed and natural, the perfect long-term fertilizer for Camellia sinensis

Sheep's wool is an excellent choice for providing Camellia sinensis – the tea plant – with optimal nutrients. As a slow-release organic fertilizer, it not only provides essential nutrients such as nitrogen and potassium, but also supports the specific needs of these delicate plants, which prefer slightly acidic and well-aerated soil.

Of course, you can also use the sheep’s wool for other plants.

Benefits of sheep wool for Camellia sinensis:

• Gentle nutrient supply : Nitrogen promotes healthy leaf growth, potassium strengthens the plant and supports tea leaf quality.
• Soil improvement : The loose structure of sheep's wool aerates the soil and helps the roots thrive.
• Optimal water storage : Camellia sinensis prefers evenly moist soils – sheep's wool stores water and releases it slowly.
• Adaptation to acidic soil : The natural decomposition of wool can promote the slightly acidic pH, which is ideal for tea plants.
• Natural protection : The wool forms a protective layer that protects the soil from drying out and weed growth.

Sheep's wool vs. horn shavings: What makes sheep's wool special?
Compared to horn shavings, sheep's wool offers a unique combination of benefits for your tea plants and other garden favorites. Like horn shavings, sheep's wool releases important nutrients—especially nitrogen—slowly and evenly to provide plants with a gentle, continuous supply. The key difference? Sheep's wool also contains a generous amount of potassium and sulfur. The sulfur content, in particular, is helpful because it improves your plants' ability to absorb nitrogen, resulting in more effective fertilization.

Another area where sheep's wool excels is water retention. While horn shavings primarily provide nutrients, sheep's wool acts like a reservoir, absorbing and storing moisture before gradually releasing it into the soil. This keeps your Camellia sinensis comfortably hydrated between waterings—a real benefit for the often difficult-to-achieve, evenly moist soil.

Thanks to its loose, fibrous structure, sheep's wool also serves a dual function as a long-term fertilizer and soil conditioner. While horn shavings can only provide nutrients, sheep's wool loosens the soil, promotes healthy root development, and provides ideal conditions for tea plants and other acid-loving species.

Application:
Lightly work the sheep's wool into the topsoil around the tea plant. Alternatively, you can use it as a mulch layer to retain moisture in the soil while continuously fertilizing the plant.

With sheep's wool you support your Camellia sinensis in a natural way – for healthy tea plants and sustainable tea cultivation.
