Potash rich bracken forms the base for all our composts. We blend herdwick Sheep's wool into all our Wool Composts for improved water retention and slow release nitrogen. Now with added Comfrey! – the organic gardeners best friend – a ‘dynamic accumulator’ packed with nutrients is added into the Wool Compost range.

Our composts are approved for ORGANIC growing, are completely PEAT FREE and are not made from green waste. We only use 100% natural ingredients from the fells surrounding our farm in the Lake District. Our Wool Composts are naturally water retentive -
