i have a couple of craptastic wool fleeces that are full of sticks, twigs, grasses, and some seeds...and some alpaca fleece and mohair as well pretty much in the same condition.

they'll be more work to get them into "useable" condition than i want to expend. all of them are still "in the grease" and haven't been washed.

so, if i'm willing to pick out any seeds that might choose to sprout would they be good to use as mulch? or would they keep the plants too hot in the heat of summer? since they are protein based, i'm thinking they would decompose at the end of the season when i work them into the soil, but i could be just dreamin'

has anybody tried this before, and if so, what were your results/thoughts.....
