Hair as Mulch

one of our student workers Martin N told us about the use of hair as mulch,
We since tried it out and it deters the snails that would normally ravage delicate herbs such as basil.
Another advantage is that once the hair is settled into place by rain it doesn't blow away or break down very quickly.
Here are some shots of hair in pot surrounding basil, rocket and pepino, guarded by the children's artwork: a clay dragon

We would need to gather hair from a local hairdresser to have enough for the garden beds.
