People are putting human hair in their gardens.
Well, we can’t say we know for sure that it works… but it seems some who are desperate to keep deer & rabbits away from their gardens are giving it a try!
Animals, including rodents, deer and rabbits, dislike the smell of human hair. Try sprinkling some unwashed hair around your garden. Human hair works as a natural mulch and adds nutrients to the soil as it breaks down. For more effect, tie nylon or cheesecloth bags filled with unwashed hair on tree branches or posts near your garden. Need more hair? Ask a local barber or hair salon to save some of the hair they sweep off their floors for you. The hair will lose its scent within a few weeks and will need to be replaced. (
