Why do birds use sheep's wool for nesting?
Some garden birds collect soft natural fibres to line their nests. Sheep's wool provides a soft, insulating material that can help cushion eggs and young chicks.
Our nesting balls make small amounts of wool available for birds to collect during the nesting season.
Where should I hang my nesting wool ball?
Hang your nesting ball in a sheltered position in a tree or shrub, where birds can approach it easily.
Choose a location away from busy areas and out of easy reach of cats and other predators. Check the ball regularly to ensure the wool remains clean and dry and that no long, loose strands or loops are exposed.
When should I put nesting wool out for birds?
Late winter and spring are useful times to make nesting material available as garden birds begin building their nests.
Birds may also collect nesting material later in the season for subsequent broods.
Are all nesting wool balls the same colour?
No. Our nesting balls contain wool from different sheep breeds across the British Isles, so the natural wool colour may vary. This makes each ball slightly different.
The 20cm nesting ball features darker woven willow, while our smaller 10cm version has a light-coloured woven willow outer ball.
Looking for a smaller nesting ball? Our 10cm Natural Sheep's Wool Nesting Ball features a light-coloured woven willow design.

Be a smarter gardener
Gardening organically is a more affordable and long term alternative to using chemical fertilisers. Natural Grower products eliminate waste because the nutrients are slowly released to the plants as they need them. Over the long-term you save money because your soil health naturally improves, which in turn produces healthier, stronger, disease resistant plants. Chemical products may cost less financially in the short term, but they don’t provide any long-term benefits and the damage they do to the natural eco-system in the soil is costly.
Slow release for sustained growth
Organic fertilisers are broken down slowly by organisms in the soil to produce a more measured, consistent, natural release of nutrients. This results in uniform growth with strong stems and leaves, unlike chemical fertilisers which provide a sudden boost resulting in tall lanky plants. Stronger plants are more resistant to disease, and with the presence of mycorrizhal fungi to strengthen the roots, the plants, soil and fungi all work together long-term to create the perfect natural eco-system.
Love your land
The organic matter in Natural Grower will help keep your soil or compost in optimum condition, retain moisture over the dry summer months and improve the health and structure of your soil. The presence of natural Mycorrhizal fungi in our products enhances root growth, enabling plants to extract nutrients and absorb water more efficiently from the soil or compost. By using our products you will be supporting and enhancing the natural eco-system in the soil.
Embrace sustainability
Natural Grower’s chemical free fertiliser products are approved organic, biodynamic and vegan. Plant-based and free from chemicals they are safe to use around wildlife, pets and children. Eco-friendly and sustainably produced in the UK. Our packaging is made from recycled plastic where possible and is all 100% recyclable. We are always happy to refill used containers, and often sell our products in reused containers or slightly damaged packaging at a reduced price. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
