Hair in the Flower Pot

The squirrels have stolen many of my plants and uprooted many more.  They seem to love one particular geranium that they've uprooted 3 times but it must have been too heavy for them to cart away.  I heard that human hair in the flower pot would keep squirrels out of it but wasn't sure how true that was.  Well, I just chased a squirrel away from a geranium so I took my hairbrush out and deposited hair in the pots of 4 geraniums on my deck.  I'll let you know if it works.


Note:  I watched a squirrel walk up to a geranium and stick his nose in the pot.  Within a split second, he had jumped back and ran away.  Was it the hair?  Don't know.  Don't care.  My geranium is still in the pot.
