The Woolly Gardener's Guide: Sustainable Gardening Tips by Hortiwool

Every Hortiwool Garden Pad begins life on the back of a British sheep. But how does fleece become the secret weapon in your garden? We explore the sustainable journey from shearing shed to soil and why choosing wool over plastic is one of the best decisions you can make for your garden and the planet.

July is peak growing season but it's also peak watering season, and the heat can take its toll fast. Our complete July guide covers what to sow and plant now, how to keep your garden cool and hydrated through the warmer weather, and why Hortiwool does three jobs at once: retaining moisture, regulating soil temperature, and feeding your soil as it breaks down.

From watering at the right time of day to letting wool do the hard work of holding onto moisture, here's how to help your plants and yourself get through a heatwave.
