Wool’s Role in Healthier Soil with Sherri Symons
When Sherri Symons looked at five years' worth of crossbred wool gathering dust in the shed, she didn’t just see a problem, she saw an opportunity.
Today, she’s the founder of Aussie Wool Pellets and WoolGrow, creating environmentally friendly, biodegradable gardening products from 100% Australian wool.
Her products:
✅ Provide slow-release nitrogen
✅ Hold three times their weight in water
✅ Feed soil microorganisms
✅ Deter slugs and snails naturally
✅ Break down into the soil to boost carbon and soil health
