Update on human hair...

[lesa]

I am letting you know that the disgusting human hair I spread around the pumpkin garden- has kept those woodchucks completely out of it!!! So far, it is certainly worth it!

 

[RidgebackRanch]

Glad to hear it's working!

 

[Collector]

Well if it continues to keep them out it will be well worth it. Who's hair was it?

 

[lesa]

A friend of mine swept it up from the barbershop. He told me he had something to keep deer out of the garden- I wasn't expecting a giant bag of hair!!

 

[damummis]

Yup, it works.

 

[Southern Gardener]

lesa, I'm glad it worked for you!

 

[Liana]

Good to hear!

We've been having a major problem with woodchucks. Usually we can trap them, but this year's crew is too clever for that.

Did you wash the hair first? I'd be concerned about all the hair care products that might be on it.

 

[lesa]

I certainly did not wash it!!!! I was kind of freaked out about it, as it was! I put the hair all around the outside perimeter of the garden fence. It is no where near the actual plants.

If it was from a hair salon there is a good chance it was washed, cut and then products applied. So the hair on the floor is relatively clean.
