  Subject: Cob: horse hair

  A lurker here.......

  Human hair was used as the crosshairs in rifle scopes, according to my =
memories....=20
  I'm late in this discussion....so would someone tell me what function =
the hair served in the plaster?=20
  I use hair in my compost.......I cut my honey's hair so he has =
contributed 10 years worth of it to the piles.... I just spread an 8 =
year pile on my garden and it showed no hairs at all.....=20

  My question has to do with insects....might hair not attract unwanted =
insects? Or does the lime used in the mix make it unattractive....????=20
