The Fort Wayne Home and Garden is under way. If you get a chance stop by Booth 1127 run by Brandon Mauck and Nate Mauck (Kari Mauck) owers of a brand new locally owned wool pellet business, The Heritage Collective.

Wool pellets is probably something new to many people but here are a few garden benefits:

➡️nurtient rich: as they break down slowly they provide a steady release of nutrients to your soil without the risk of burning your plants

➡️water retention: helps your soil retain moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering

➡️soil aeration: they help improve aeration and prevent compaction creating a healthier soil

➡️ecosystem sustainable and eco-friendly: these biodegradable and renewal pellets are great alternative to chemical fertilizer
