[Jacob-list] wool for compost & mulch

[Mark Essen]

Wool for mulch is best used for permanent uses such as perennials and 
trees.  I have been using mine around fruit trees for years and it works 
great.  It helps to keep the weeds down and makes it easier to find the 
fallen apples.  It does take multiple years for it to decompose, do DO 
NOT use it in your annual garden.
There is a down side though.  My orchard is along the county road and 
the morning after I heavily mulched I got a call from a neighbor.  He 
wanted to tell me that dogs must have gotten to a bunch of my sheep.  He 
thought I had dead sheep laying all over my orchard.
