Facts about the Pellets:

• Pellets are all natural, right from the sheep fleeces. No chemicals or heavy metals. (Giving your house plants, gardens, fruit trees, lawns, landscapes, crops an organic boost.)

• Each wool pellet can hold up to 20 times their weight in water.  Save water, time, and money. 

• Natural slug and snail deterrent! (Because who wants those in their garden?)
• Flame retardant

• Supports local agriculture and horticulture (your local meat and produce farms). Increases food production. Better crops for better foods!

• This is an ever-flowing renewable source. (Sheep are sheared 1-2 times a year.)

Carbon sequestration as a soil amendment involves the practice of adding organic materials, often referred to as soil amendments or organic matter, to soil with the aim of increasing its carbon content and improving soil health. This process is a component of sustainable agricultural and land management practices and can have several benefits:

• Improved Soil Structure: Adding organic matter to soil can improve its structure, making it more stable and resistant to erosion. It helps to bind soil particles together, preventing compaction and promoting better water infiltration and root penetration.
   
• Enhanced Water Retention: Soils with higher organic carbon content have improved water-holding capacity. This can be especially beneficial in areas with erratic rainfall or drought-prone regions as it helps retain moisture for plant growth.
   
• Increased Nutrient Retention: Organic matter acts as a reservoir for essential plant nutrients. These nutrients are released slowly over time as organic matter decomposes, making them more available to plants.
   
• Enhanced Microbial Activity: Organic matter in soil provides a food source for soil microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. These microbes play a crucial role in breaking down organic materials and releasing nutrients, thus enhancing soil fertility.
   
• Carbon Sequestration: The primary goal of adding organic matter to soil as an amendment is to isolate carbon. Organic materials, such as compost, cover crops, and crop residues, are rich in carbon. When these materials are incorporated into the soil, they contribute to the accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC), which helps remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the soil.
   
• Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: By increasing soil organic carbon content, the practice of carbon sequestration as a soil amendment can help reduce the release of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, from soil. Healthier soils are less likely to emit these gases.
   
• Improved Crop Yields: Healthier, well-structured soils with higher organic matter content generally support increased crop yields. Plants tend to grow better in soils with improved nutrient availability, water-holding capacity, and microbial activity.
   
• Mitigation of Climate Change: The sequestration of carbon in soil is seen as a potential strategy for mitigating climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Soil carbon sequestration can contribute to a reduction in atmospheric CO2 levels, thereby helping combat greenhouse emissions.
   

Common practices for adding carbon to soil include applying compost, cover cropping, mulching, reduced tillage, and using crop residues as organic matter sources. The choice of soil amendment depends on local conditions and specific soil improvement goals. Implementing these practices as part of sustainable agriculture and land management strategies can lead to both environmental and agricultural benefits
