Seaweed is naturally rich in trace minerals, growth-promoting hormones, and iodine — nutrients that support stronger root development, improved plant resilience, and better resistance to stress like heat and drought. Combined with the slow-release nitrogen from wool and the nutrient density of sheep manure, Surf \u0026amp; Turf feeds your soil from multiple angles at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWool fibres hold up to three times their weight in water, reducing watering frequency across your garden.
