Wow
I heard of cutting your hair off to provide wigs for cancer patients .. I would never imagine cutting off my hair for the sake of chemical-free horticulture :hmm

If I remember correctly, it's very high in nitrogen when it decomposes. Every time I shave my head, I dump it in my garden....been doin' it for years.

But doesn't hair take forever to decompose? The nitrogen part makes sense. Hair is just protein.

Not sure, just remember reading it somewhere....about 5-6 years ago.
