Human Hair in the Garden


Ewww. I know. But lookie here, this is about hair in your garden. Animals smell your scent in your hair, and they tend to steer clear, handy if you are trying to deter certain creatures from your tender transplants. So after you clean your hairbrush, use it by:
1. Composting. It will compost just fine, although it may not have quite the deterring power if your compost is open and yummy to foraging squirrels.
2. Stuff it in a section of pantyhose and make a garden "sachet". Tie it to your fence or on your tomato cage. (Wow, that tip is so good, I should have kept it for another pantyhose tip. Ah well.)

  1. I thought of you yesterday when I was getting my hair done. I thought, Hey, I can use all that hair! But then I realized, I don't grow anything. Boo... but the Bulgarians next door do!
