How exactly does that work? You just sprinkle human hair on the plants? Thanks for explaining further.Dagny

Hi, Dagny!
Yes, I just sprinkled human hair in the garden. I aimed for the soil around the plants, rather than the plants themselves, but you know how hair is. I used the tiny clippings left over from when my husband trims his beard and when we cut his hair with electric clippers. I just took out another container of hair this past weekend and sprinkled it on the soil around my hot pepper plants. Everything’s pretty big now so I think it’s safe (my chipmunks seem to prefer plants that have just sprouted), but it doesn’t hurt to add a little extra.
Here are some photos I took this morning of the plants that were damaged by critters and rebounded after I put down hair clippings.
Green beans:
Swiss chard:
Parsley:
I couldn’t resist taking some other pictures of the garden because everything is getting so big. Here’s my yellow squash in full bloom. I picked my first little squash this morning. I love the flowers on zucchini and squash plants.
