Over time, more and more hair will accumulate in the brush. In no case should they end up in the trash, because the mane is quite useful.
Dortmund – Especially people with long hair know the problem: Once the brush is full of dead strands, unknotting is no longer quite so easy. Theoretically, the leftovers from the brush could then be disposed of in household waste or in the organic waste bin. However, this is a fatal mistake – especially for garden lovers.
Do not throw away hair from the brush: they are a valuable home remedy
With the hair from the brush, hobby gardeners can easily fertilize their plants - whether in the garden or in the four walls. What may sound bizarre to some at first is explained as follows: The hair releases nutrients to the plants. Specifically, this is nitrogen, which, in addition to potash and phosphorus, is important for an optimal supply, reports RUHR24.
Researchers at Mississippi University in Verona (USA) investigated the phenomenon of hair fertilization as early as 2008. There they compared several fertilizers with each other. According to the study, plants that have been fertilized with the help of the mane are better over time than those that have not received the home remedy (read more life hacks at RUHR24).
However, inorganic mineral or liquid fertilizers are said to have increased yields somewhat better in the end. If you still use the hair trick, all you have to do is follow a few steps.
