Default another compost question

Can I compost the stuff that my vacumm picks up. Mainly dog hair and dirt?




I tried this years ago and it did not work for me. It turned out to
be a total mess, caused a sneezing fit, and the nylon carpet fibers do
not compost well. I put human hair directly into my shade garden to
help ward off the deer, and I believe it is working (my neighbor's
impatiens are all eaten and mine have not been touched.) Your vacuum
waste might work better than mine, particularly if there is no
nylon/polyester fibers in it.
