I have never before seen the suggestion that hair--horse hair, pensioners' clippings -- can serve as both a protective for plants and as a mineralizer for the soil.
Traditional gardening tips with superstitious beliefs thrown in for good measure. A good fun read with some practical no-nonsense advice.
