Question: Is it ok to add hair to a compost pile?
I'm talking about dog hair, cat hair, and human hair.
Has anyone done it?
Does anyone have cites about it?
My wife cuts my and her own hair. The cuttings go on the compost
heap,
as do the contents of the vacuum cleaner which contain cat hair and
fluff from woollen carpets. They all rot down and provide nitrogen,
although fluff from synthetic (nylon?) carpets is persistent.
Ours goes out the window to drift where it will and be used for
nesting birds.
and toupees :-)
Presumably for the bald-headed eagles?
Specifically for Merkins?
RUDE!!
I had to ask RG what that meant!! Sweet innocent thing that I am, I
thought it was a rare type of bird until you sent 'rude'. (Blush).
