It’s better than chopping down trees or using plastic! There’s loads of hair going to waste, I think it’s a great idea. If you were all as green as you think you are, there’s no way you would be putting plastic on your garden……Good luck to hair mats!

I cut my BF’s hair and swept it into my garden bed. I planted watermelons and the deer come up at night and leave prints in the bed. I’m hoping this will help keep them away. We’ll see. I don’t want them munching on my baby melons.

I’ve heard that human hair deters deer – though I’m not sure about other pests. I’ve never tried it. And as far as compost goes, I’m not sure I’d want to add hair to my compost pile. It just doesn’t seem right. Thanks for your thoughts, Frances!

Hmm, fertilizer, mulch, what about pest deterrent? Garden Rant mentioned the same product, with a photo that looked like round wads of dark brown,…I don’t know what. Kind of yucky. I have tried human and cat hair in the garden to deter squirrels from diggin and in vole holes hoping to make them go away. Neither did much good. It has been suggested to add it to the compost pile, but what if the hair is dyed or permed? Does that affect it’s purity?
