Hello Norma,
Wool sounds like a very interesting idea.  Does the wool decompose within a year?
Thanks

Paul,
I know I'm late coming into this, but I know of several sheep growers that are using a thin layer of waste wool underneath the mulch.  I haven't tried it as my sheep are bred for wool production, not meat, but one lady that I know says that with as little as 1 inch of wool underneath the regular mulch, your need to water drops to almost nil . . . Her example was that she took a month's vacation at the hottest part of the year and came back to a beautiful and productive garden.
