Sheep wool consists of Keratin, which is reach in plant nutrients such as Nitrogen, Potassium and Sulphur. The Keratin binds valuable nutrients and attaches itself onto the plant roots due to its fibrous structure preventing unabsorbed nutrients being washed out. The long term effect of Monpellets® is based on the continuous and naturally regulated decomposition process of the Keratin by the soil biology Hence, a slow release of nutrients occurs, which supplies the plant optimally with nutrients for up to 10 months.
