This wool based carpet
padding is a blend of course naturally pigmented wool's mechanically needled
(not glued) into a cotton scrim.
The padding is free
from dyes, fire retardant, glues, moth proofing or adhesives. Color will
vary from charcoal brown to tan, depending upon fiber availability. Some
vegetable matter may be present. Average thickness is 7/16 inch, and the
average weight is 40 oz/sq. yd.
Individuals who have a
sensitivity to animal fibers should obtain a sample before ordering. This
100% natural wool padding will provide many years of service before needing
to be replaced. When it does, we urge our customers to recycle it to the
garden where it will safely biodegrade while serving as an effective weed
barrier and mulch.
Over a period of 2-3
seasons the padding will completely disappear, adding nitrogen and other
nutrients plants need to the soil, essentially returning to grass.
