From Our Sheep to Your Soil

These wool fertilizer pellets begin right here on our farm in Fort Ransom, North Dakota, where we raise and care for our flock.

After shearing, wool that isn’t used for felting is repurposed into a natural, slow-release fertilizer — giving it a second life in your garden.

Nothing wasted. Everything valued.

Why Wool?

Wool is naturally rich in nutrients and designed to hold moisture.

As it slowly breaks down, it:

  • Feeds your plants over time
  • Helps retain moisture in the soil
  • Improves soil structure
  • Supports healthy root growth
  • Naturally deters slugs and snails

Natural Nutrient Content

Our wool pellets contain naturally occurring:

  • Nitrogen (N) – 11%
  • Phosphorus (P) – 0%
  • Potassium (K) – 4%

Also contains sulfur — an important secondary nutrient for plant health.

Made with Purpose

These pellets are made from wool that would otherwise go unused — turning a natural byproduct into something valuable for your garden.

How Much Wool Pellets to Use

Wool pellets break down slowly and feed your plants over time, so you really don’t need much. The goal is to get them into the soil where roots can benefit from both the nutrients and the moisture they hold.

Planting New Plants or Vegetables

When you’re planting or transplanting:

  • Add a small handful of pellets into the planting hole
  • Cover lightly with soil
  • Set your plant in and fill the rest with soil

This puts everything right where the roots will grow.

Garden Beds

Before planting, mix about 1–2 cups per square foot into your garden soil, focusing on the areas where your plants will be.

Work the pellets into the top few inches so they sit near the root zone. That’s where they’ll hold moisture and slowly release nutrients as your plants need them.

Raised Beds (with existing plants or bulbs)

When prepping beds in the spring:

  • Mix ½–1 pound per square yard into the soil

If you already have plants growing:

  • Sprinkle pellets around the base
  • Gently work them into the top layer of soil

Just be a little careful around bulbs and smaller plants.

Containers & Pots

For containers, mix into your potting soil:

  • 1–2 tablespoons for small pots (4–6 inch)
  • ¼ cup for medium containers (10–12 inch)
  • ½ cup for large planters

Because containers dry out faster, this really helps hold moisture and cuts back on how often you need to water.

 FROM PASTURE TO PRODUCT 

From Our Flock to Your Hands 

At Bear Creek Felting, our story begins on our North Dakota sheep farm, where I've been carefully breeding sheep for their felting wool since 2005. From choosing the right breeding stock to caring for our flock, every decision is made with wool quality in mind.

Just a few miles from the farm, we wash, dye, and card our wool in small batches at our Fort Ransom fiber mill. It's a hands-on process that allows us to pay close attention to the quality of the fiber we share with you.

Whether you're creating your first needle-felted animal or adding to a growing collection, my goal is to provide beautiful materials and tools that make your felting experience a joy.
