On the subject of wool, I have just bought some woolly compost. It does look lovely and is supposed to be an excellent alternative to peat based compost. Not sure how long the fleece takes to break down but it is being used in its natural state as a compost. The company is Dalefoot Composts if anyone is interested.

Thanks for this Alex. Please do report back once you've used it and let us know its rotting down time. This is a fairly new composting medium for many of us so it will be a benefit to learn of your experience, and under what sort of conditions it was used.

Hi Primrose, I will definitely report back. I've planted the same batch of garlic with a standard B&Q compost to see if there will be a difference.......now the waiting........
