If I know my sister, she will die reading this. However, being the aspiring gardener that she is, she should listen up. A few years ago I shared with a former co-worker that I was frustrated about 'something' that was eating my plants. She told me that if I sprinkle human hair in the garden, the pests won't be attracted to the plants. It makes perfect sense. The animals smell humans and then stay away! I have implemented this little tidbit the two past gardening seasons and it really does work. How do I get the hair? That is the part that is going to put my sister over the edge. I take it out of the hairbrush of course. I do have a bit of a habit of letting it build up in the first place, so this is not difficult for me. My sister can not stand hair build up in a brush, so it may be a bit more difficult for her to collect. Anyway, then I just snip little bits and sprinkle it around the plants. This little tip has helped turn my black thumb to a darker shade of green, so I share this with you and hope you use it, if you have the same unfortunate skill of killing plants as I do. As for indoor plants, I'll keep working on it :) TTFN!
I hope Dad reads this..although he will have to use my brush not his
