I've just heard on the radio (so it must be true :-) ) that foxes hate
human hair, so place some in a fox hole, and away they will go, sounds too
good to be true for fox haters with fox infested gardens, but hey, it must
be worth a try.
Personally I'd welcome some (foxes I mean, not human hair)here if only they
would eat all the blasted rabbits!!!

Hugh F-W said the same on 'River Cottage Forever' and Pippa Greenwood said
it deters deer as well on Gardener's World but one of them (Pippa I think),
added that it had to be male hair. I think they both stuffed it in old
socks/tights and/or tights and tied it to their fences.

And it has to be renewed after heavy rain. A friend of mine in Haslemere,
Surrey used to go round barber's shops........... ;-)

My (now retired) barber used to dig the hair clippings into his garden,
and grew prize vegetables on the diet.

He probably wasn't doing much chemical hair treatment. These days, the
sweepings from hairdresser's floors are probably classifiable as toxic
waste.
