Dubna Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I have the shearings from 3 ewes and would like some suggestions of what to do with it. Does anyone want it? I am in Redon in S Brittany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmn Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Hi DubnaI used to have this problem as fleeces seem to be two a penny these days. You could use it to mulch any trees or shrubs. Being natural it will break down eventually and will do a great job of keeping down the weeds meanwhile. Some people use it as insulation but I fear it could be a bit of a fire hazard!Franwww.gasconyretreat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 We've just had our three sheep sheared. The shearer said he will take the wool if we don't want it. He said he sells it to a marchand and 80% of the wool from this area gets exported to Japan. her also said it is very good for protecting plants through the winter.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirpy Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 i once used wool as a mulch but beware as if you cut the grass and some gets onto the cutters then you can get the belt slipping badly and a chance of burning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
